Text tool indent issue

[fweyerly]

I'm having a problem getting the indent function on a list of numbered items to get the text to align. For example, I'll type "1. (tab)Text text text...," then "2.(tab)Text text text...". In this list of 40 or so items sometimes the tab works as expected and sometimes it creates a double tab space and sometimes no tab occurs when I exit the edit text box.

Very frustrating trying to look professional by having text line up.... and looking like a slow third grader.

I have a .jpg of the text boxes side by side (edit text box and text block) I could attach (if I knew how).

Please don't suggest using worksheets (no text wrap). Also, please don't suggest using multiple text blocks, one for the numbers on one for the text body.

Thanks,

Frank

Vectorworks 10.x supports tabs in text blocks, but not "indenting" per se. You may be trying to do something that is not supported.
