Hi

In my source Word document I am copying from, I have defined a style

'quoteblock' which is Times New Roman normal 10 pt, indented by 1cm on the

left and 1cm on the right.

When I copy and paste a document containing sections in quoteblock style,

the left side is formatted correctly but the right side of the section is

flush against the right side of the RichViewEdit window, (ie not indented by

1cm from the right end of the page, and indeed there does not seem to be an

end of page, it just keeps on going till the end of the real estate. I

didn't find a ruler component where I can see if it demarcates the end of an

A4 or letter sized page, perhaps this is fortcoming with the new version

with Tab support?).

It seems like there is no right side of the page defined - the lines just

keep going and then wrap around at the end to start a new line.

Consequently, it seems, the formatting never indents from the right for this

style.

Is this correct? Can I turn word wrap off, or otherwise have TRichViewEdit

define or recognise the end of the page, and interpret this style

accordingly?

Also, is there a ruler one can insert above a RichViewEdit and adjust things

like page size, tab indents and so forth from?

Thanks!
