How to Tab Inside the Text Editior

[Anonymous]

I'm sure plenty of you have figured this out, but I've been using Inventor for almost 2 years now and up until today I was under the impression that you could not use a Tab character inside of the text editor. I've tried pressing the Tab key (obviously), Shift + Tab, copying formatted text from Word and Notepad but nothing seems to work just quite right. Copying formatted text from Word to Notepad converted the tabs to spaces inside of the Inventor text editor. The closest thing I came up with (prior to today) was formatting in Notepad and copying to the text editor. This method, however, had issues because of the font size and tab size differences between the two editors.

This morning I sat down and thought I'd try my luck again at adding a Tab character directly inside of the text editor. For some reason I had never tried Ctrl + Tab in previous attempts. I was delighted to see that it worked just as I always hoped it would. Digging further, I confirmed that the ASCII alt code for the Tab character (Alt + 0 + 9) works as well.

In summary: (Ctrl + Tab) or (Alt + 0 + 9) will get you a Tab character directly inside of the Inventor text editor.

Sorry if this is trivial, but it sure wasn't for me and I thought I'd share my excitement with all of you.
