Subject: TMG-L: Text editing of reports
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2000 21:43:07 -0500

There are two things I want to do in TMG that I haven't figured out how to
do. The first is to indent the first line of a paragraph in the Memo field.
If one presses the Tab key, the entire paragraph is indented, not just the
first line. The only way I know how to indent the first line of a paragraph
*only* is to carriage-return, backspace at the end of the first (indented
line), thus breaking the paragraph into two: the first indented line, and
the remainder of the paragraph. To prevent getting the first line from
being too short, it is necessary to widen the Memo window to the same width
of the finished report; and then breaking the first line with
carriage-return, backspace at the end of the first line. This is a
cumbersome, clumsy make-shift.

There's gotta be a better way. Can someone help me?

The other problem is that I don't know how to produce a report in which end
notes or footnotes are produced in a smaller size than the main text. I
could do this in a word processor, of course, but especially in the case of
footnotes, reducing their size then will cause the creation of blank space
at the bottom of the page, since the smaller font doesn't take as much room.
Alternatively, inserting additional main text to fill the blank space may
result in the need for one or more additional footnotes, which becomes an
editing nightmare that affects all later pages.

But I haven't found anywhere in the Report font screen any way to specify
the size of the endnotes or footnotes spearate from the main text. Am I
overlooking something obvious?
