Paragraphs with Indents

Lookup table entries are useful to store clauses which include indented paragraphs . Stored clauses may be formatted in different documents, with different fonts, sizes and indentation defined in each document from the same lookup.

Clauses are copied from Word or from PDFs and added to Lookup. Lookup entries then have line feeds applied between paragraphs and tabs inserted to represent level of indentation. That completes the lookup table entries.

In the document, clauses are defined as ".. from lookup table" and the clause has the required indention and tab spacing applied.

Generate the Table Entry

Copy the clause text from a WORD or PFD document ...



... and paste in lookup table maintenance.



Edit the clause, inserting additional line feeds between paragraphs, removing redundant spaces and inserting tabs (Ctrl+Tab) where indents are required (and note you can pull the right-bottom corner to show more text).

This is the printed result, noting fonts, point size, tabs and dimensions are set by the user.



This long clause will split across a page boundary if record properties has Can span across pages ticked.
