Splitting a Numbered Paragraph
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 11:06 pm
I have completed most of the processing for splitting a numbered paragraph. (I am doing this for a soft page break during an RTF export).
I do one page at a time. I copy the RVF text and then delete out the unneeded items (front and back). There are times that I have to split a paragraph (numbered and not) at the end of the page before doing the deletes. I have successfully done the split at the bottom of the page. The results accurately represent the PrintPreview text.
It is the top of the next page (continuation of the split text) that I am having a minor problem with. I accomplished the split by resetting SameAsPrev on the item and deleting off the preceeding text (up to the offset). The problem is that the text (on numbered paragraphs) is offset too much to the left when formatted. The formatted text starts where the number is instead of the where the actual text (after the paragraph number) begins. If I insert a leading tab into the text, the formatted text will start too far to the right. The ideal starting spot would be the middle of these two positions.
Do you have any ideas on how I can do this "simple procedure"?
