Hey Nancy,

There are a few (possible) work-arounds for this:
1. you can make textboxes on top of each other. Most people put all there text in just one textbox, but sometimes it is handier (or more beautifull) to make a textbox per paragraph or so. If you want to have the textbox-look you can make a big one without any text for the looks and the paragraph-textboxes (transparant) on top of it.
2. Dynamic and input textboxes (not static) can preserve rich text formating (aka some basic HTML tags). The folowing tags are supported:
<A>, <B>, <FONT COLOR>, <FONT FACE>, <FONT SIZE>, <I>, <P>, and <U>.
and the following attributes are supported:
LEFTMARGIN, RIGHTMARGIN, ALIGN, INDENT, and LEADING.
alltough no tab, the LeftMargin and/or Indent attributes will do the trick.

To enable HTML, be sure to use dynamic text, Select the Render Text as HTML button in the Property inspector (Button looks like this: [<>] )
and use the HTML-tags in your dynamicly loaded .txt file.

Hope this is of any help...

The arm with the sword rose up as if newly stretched aloft, and round the figure blew the free winds of heaven.”
