how to add text formatting in paragraph?

[andre]

IF somebody could help it would be very much appreciated...

1. I recently build a proj. including about 500 pages on diseases of
apple / grapes...
How can I?
1. Add format to some words of a paragraph obj. (eg. Bold, Italic)
2. How can I put a specific tab on the start of each paragraph (Some of
the starting word in each paragraph don't line correctly)?
3. How can I correctly type degrees centigrades in temperatures (the o sign but lifted-up).

Thank you in advance
Andreas, Greece

Sounds like your applications needs on these matters would be better served by creating such in an .htm (or .html) file and surving such up via way of the Web Object.

Intrigued is right. The paragraph object doesn't have near the formatting options of the web object.

paragraph formatting

There is one item here I can help you with. You can insert a degree symbol ('o' but uplifted) in your paragraph by holding down the alt key and then pressing the numerals 0176 on your numerical keypad. The result should look like this: °
Hope this helps.

Re:

I created a cool little program in AMS4 that formatted text in a button-click manor. I used Worm's KEYSTROKE.dll to do the following:

The user highlights a section of text they want to format (say...put in BOLD). When they click the "B" button (for "BOLD" as always), the button used the KEYSTROKE.dll to execute a Ctrl-C (to copy the selected text), then it added the "<b>" to the beginning and the "</b>" at the send of the string, then used the KEYSTROKE.dll again to paste the new string/text in place. I'm forgetting one or more steps here, but it worked like a charm! I even added a few steps to make highlighted text a hyperlink.

This made it possible for people who didn't know html to modify their text within the AMS interface. It looked and functioned just like any other word/html program, but was a pretty unique little program in how it was used. I've been too lazy to finish it enough to release it on my site...lol

But my friends all use it for their businesses...troubleshooting/support but without pay...doh!

It's AMS4 code, but let me know if you want to see the button code.

Here's an old thread, but it definitely has potential

Thanks for the link Worm. Using that project, in the htm file created, can you have a hyperlink that jumps to a page in the project?
