Text - How to set indentation in a paragraph?

[Anonymous]

I have a paragraph of text (using the automatic numbering per new line) and I cannot figure out how to automatically indent non-numbered lines to a certain point; I have to hit tab at the beginning of each line, and this can be annoying if I have to make revisions to said text.  Is there a way to automatically indent, or must I do this manually?

I am running Revit MEP 2012, and thanks in advance!

Since Revit has no word proccesser you must do this manually unfortunately.

Just don't resize your text box, it will screw up all that indenting. Neat huh?

Have you tried the "Text Generator" tool in the Autodesk Extensions add-in from the subscription site? That allows you to import externally created text and provides a little more word processing power thatn the usual text editor. That may help.

I have downloaded and installed the REVIT 2013 extensions, but I haven't a clue as to how to use them.  Can someone please direct me to a help link?

Not that I've found - crazy (and now 10 years down the line)

In my example I need to hit TAB at the start of each line - not ideal in large bits of text, and not intuitive if text is edited.

I see.  If you want unconventional numbering then use a noteblock schedule.

Ok thanks, one day in the future I may have time to look into that properly. A quick look was not enough to understand how to use them - same with adding a quick text table.
