Thanks Devin – the negative first indent works nicely on normal text!
Unfortunately I have an added complication in that I’m working with list style
lines as well and list behavior seems to override some of the other indenting
stuff.
What I’m really trying to do is replace the ‘disc’ character at the start of
each list item with an icon (that varies) by setting the imagesource of the
first character in the line (separated from the rest of the text by a tab). By
setting the listindent of the line to 0 (or the firstindent to a largish
negative value) I can get the icon into position but when a line is long enough
to wrap its left margin is aligned with the icon rather than to the right of
it. I’m trying to shift that wrapped line to the right but it seems pretty
resistant to any of my attempts to move it.
Best regards,
Terry...

You can either set the left margin of the field to some large value like
20, or I believe there is a leftIndent property that you can set for a
paragraph. Then set the first indent property of the paragraph to a negative
number.
