I don't think html has a tag for wrapping within a 'tab-like character' unless you use a table cell with a fixed format (or other html structure). Anyway, Rev only has a subset of html tags for use in a field. ---- One work around that may be worth it for you... use a separate hidden field the width of your left cell, set the text of that hidden field to the string you want to display. Now this field will wrap according to font, etc. Export a snapshot to a temp image name, then insert an img src tag into the first cell, then, of course, set the lineheight to the max along the line (in this case, the first cell). I can't remember the details for the export method, but Eric Chatonet has a tutorial that covers handling images, such as thumbnails. ----------------- Another way to display this this would be to use the Rev Browser product, formerly known as AltBrowser, which does support all kinds of tags since it uses Internet Explorer on Win32 and Safari on Mac. Just make a browser container the correct size and placement, then 'set the html of theWindow to stringOfData' Should work. Of course, user clicking would have to be a link syntax such as <a href="">visible text</a>, or a button, etc. The table container is on the list of future updates, but I am not sure of any arrival schedule. Hope this helps.
