I agree. In short business letters, it is okay to use the block style and separate
paragraphs by a line space. However, in books (like our reports compare with) the
standard is to just indent a new paragraph about 5-7 spaces in a single space format.
In
Legacy Notes, etc. the tab key should allow us to indent a new paragraph without
having to
use a line space (especially if that causes two line spaces to print).

Subject: [LegacyUG] Appearance of Source Comments
I frequently enter information under Source Comments. This information
prints out with the first line left justified, even if I try to indent
the line by adding blank spaces (the tab key is not functional, although
I thought this was on the "things to do" list many moons ago). That
looks all right when the information is limited to one paragraph, but
presents an appearance problem when there is more than one paragraph. I
have tried inserting a blank line to distinguish paragraphs, but when I
do that it prints with what looks like two blank lines separating the
paragraphs, which looks odd since there is no blank line separating the
first paragraph from "Source Comment:" and no blank line separating the
last paragraph from the next source citation. I thought I might be able
to copy the information to Wordpad, add the paragraph indents, and then
copy and paste back to Legacy, but this also doesn't work because when I
select the altered text in Wordpad it starts with the first word and
omits the indentation. Thus, when I paste it back into Legacy, all
paragraphs have indents except the first one.
As with most of my problems with Legacy, this is a picayune one, but one
I would like to see Legacy modify the program so that notes, wherever
they are inserted, can be presented as single spaced indented
paragraphs. Or, perhaps someone has figured out a way to accomplish
this with the program as is. If so, please let me know how you do it.
