Hi guys,

Is this at all possible?

I want to allign the text in the red box with the blue line i have drawn WITHOUT moving the ''2015:"

I have tried and tried and failed and failed.

You can do that quite easily with a hanging indent.

It is moving the "2015" text as well when i try that..?

In that case, you're not using a hanging indent!

I will try that next time - thank you

For now I solved the problem by using tables instead

You can set a hanging indent in the paragraph formatting dialog or in the ruler. http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...ng.htm#Indents

One advantage of using the table is that you can use a column border instead of a line that you draw. That is dynamic and will expand/shrink depending on the amount of text.
