Indent a section of text?
Folks, Is it possible to indent an existing section of text in TB! editor? It's pretty much a rhetorical question, so I can again point out the necessity of a powerful email program allowing you to edit emails in an external editor. Of course, I *love* being proven wrong in these matters :) Cheers, Gavin Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Interesting. Never had need to do that so just tried it and it appears not so :-( > Of course, I *love* being proven wrong in these matters :) Not this time it seems :-) -- Best regards, Richard | Using The Bat! version 1.63 Beta/2 | Windows 2000 (build 2195), version 5.0 Service Pack 3 | and using the best browser: Opera.

Hello Gavin, On Thursday, January 9, 2003 at 9:43:49 AM you [GS] wrote (at least in part): GS> Is it possible to indent an existing section of text in TB! editor? You mean like this and this and this plus that with all lines "at once"? Yes. Select the block, press +K,I (that means: +K, release 'K' hold , press I) and repeat as much as you need it. You can even rewrap this selected block by pressing +L (for left justification) or however you want it to be aligned, the indentation will be preserved.

I, OTOH, participate in some quite technical forums, and post code, which appears much better indented. Different strokes for different fols, I guess. Like the reply template, BTW (with the two times). Can you email it to me? Cheers, Gavin Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Thank you very much. I wonder how you found that out? My investigation only consisted of all editor menus and the help index (no "indent"), but I thought that might be enough. > You can even rewrap this selected block by pressing +L (for left > justification) or however you want it to be aligned, the indentation > will be preserved.
