Best way to do quoted text like this.
Without the dots obviously:
Bob..........Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Joe..........Consectetur adipisicing elit Bob..........Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut Joe..........Labore et dolore magna aliqua Bob..........Ut enim ad minim veniam Joe..........Quis nostrud exercitation ullamco It's a lot of text so using the spacebar is not a starter, I tried using the indent buttons but either due to lack of knowledge or their limitations, it's quite slow and not always accurate. Just wondering if there's a better way? thanks in advance -------------------------------------- |

You can set a tab stop at the location where "Lorem ipsum" should begin (select
all paragraphs to set the same tab stop for them all). Just click the horizontal ruler, and use the Tab key to move the text to the tab stop. If you have multiple lines of text within each paragraph, a hanging indent would be better. You can set one by dragging the indent indicators on the ruler or by using the Paragraph dialog box. To display the Paragraph dialog: - In Word 2007, click the Home tab; in the Paragraph group, click the dialog launcher button (the little arrow on the bottom right). - In Word 97-2003, click Format | Paragraph. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "sanestifs" wrote in message ...

You could use a tabstop.
Ensure the ruler is visible ("View" tab, "Show/Hide" group, "Ruler" checkbox"). In the left corner of the line the ruler is on, there should be a right angled symbol (looking like |_). If you see another symbol, click on it till you see the correct symbol. Click near the bottom of your ruler where you want the tabstop. Now type your text: BobtabLorem... JoetabConsectetur... Note that you can always drag your tabstop further to the left or right by clicking it and holding it while moving your mouse. Yves "sanestifs" wrote in message ...
