Formatting Text

[Diamonds_Mine]

I'm using the code below that will write names entered in a text box into the
document. The "To" field is using a 1" hanging indent (this is not set up in
a table). The "txtAuthor" field is set up for multi-line text. I would
like to know how using code to format the 2nd line and subsquent lines to
align with the 1" hanging indent so that the names align properly in the
document. Thank you for your assistance.

PopulateValues "Author", Frm_Education.txtAuthor

PopulateValues "Author", Frm_Education.txtAuthor

To give you a specific answer we would need to know what the
"PopulateValues" function (or sub) actually does.

However, generally speaking, when inserting text in a document, make sure
that the inserted text is managed by a range object. Then, you can
manipulate the range as you want:

Dim rgeInsertText As Range

Set rgeInsertText = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Author").Range
With rgeInsertText
.InsertAfter "Text from Frm_Education.txtAuthor"
'Now your range consits of the text you just inserted, so you can
continue with:
.Style = "Some Style Name"
'or
.ParagraphFormat....
'Or, if you have more than one paragraph
.Paragraphs(2).Range.Font.Bold = True
'etc...
End With
