    Hi Gande,

    If you meant the bullets with indent then I don't think it will appear the way you wanted. You can however copy paste the code from word to your text field and will display the bullets (not indent).

    Hope this helps.

    Hi GANDE,

    Multiple Lines of Text fields do not offer this kind of formatting, but you can try entering different combinations of characters into the field to simulate this behaviour.
