Second lines will not line up

[jamesTcarville]

Hello everybody,

I have a macro that types sentences in textframes. Each of them begin
with the word "question : ". Some of the lines are long and wrap to a
second line.

The second line is directly under the word "question :" and will not
indent so it is under the first letter of the first word of the
sentence.

How can I make these second lines line up ?
I knwow how to do it with the ruler. But the macro recorder will not
record this.

I have tried this :
ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.IndentLevel = 20
But it moves to right all the lines, when I need the first line to stay
where it is and the others to move right.

Any help would be geatly appreciated.

THX

This should do what you want, although customization of the slide number and
shape number will be required.


With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).TextFrame.Ruler
.Levels(1).FirstMargin = 0
.Levels(1).LeftMargin = 0
End With
