I have a report with a text field that I am trying to get to grow onto a
second line. That piece does work. The problem I am having is trying to
indent the second line of text by 5 spaces. I have tried to pad the field
with spaces to get the break and indent correct but this doesnt give the
desired effect. Access just moves the line breakpoint. Is there a way to do
this?

No reasonable way to do that using a text box, unless you
are willing to mess with the data in the text field (in the
table).

If you can fool with the data, then type a newline
Shift + Enter
where you want the line to break. add as many indenting
spaces as desired after the newline.

Possible (ugly) kludge...

Place two TextBoxes in the same space except make the one in the background
a bit to the right. Cover the piece that "sticks out" with a solid white
rectangle.

Set CanGrow on the one "in the front" to No and for the one in the back set
it to Yes.
