Creating Form, Need 1st 2 lines of field to indent, 3rd to wrap
I'm creating a form for myself to enter into. I have lines that are
formatted in what they call "Indented Block" - I have a heading on the left margin, which I don't touch when filling in the form, the field starting at an indent of 3", the 2nd line of the field if it's long enough to wrap to also be at 3" and any lines after that to wrap back to the left margin. Kinda like this: heading: field 2nd line of field 3rd line of field continued BUT, I need to be able to indent the 3rd line also to 3" if it's too short & doesn't reach the indented point. Need to be able to do this, too, depending on length: heading: field 2nd line of field 3rd line short If possible, the whole field area needs to be wrapped, so I don't have to mess with hitting the Enter key at some point to make it line up. I've searched through the questions with "Intent" in them and didn't find anything. I apologize if I'm repeating a previous question. Thanks for any help! |

A hanging indent would indent all lines after the first, but there is no
built-in way to have the third and subsequent lines (of the same paragraph) wrap back to the left margin, conditionally or otherwise. -- Suzanne S.
