Is there a way to specify margins? The following works if I use a text editor to insert
\margl1080\margr1080\margt1080\margb1080 after the initial \rtf1 tag.

This would be helpful when opening the rtf file in MS Word as it would help to preserve the formatting.

This component is really nice to use! :-)

Thanks.

Hi Rea

Yes, you can use the Paragraph property, e.g.

// Specify a left-margin for the current paragraph of 1 inch
// const Points_Per_Inch = 72;
IERichEdit1.Paragraph.LeftIndent := 1 * Points_Per_Inch;

Hi Nigel.

I added a popup menu and a method with the above code, ran the program, selected a paragraph, executed the method and got the margin of choice for all lines except the first one. I also need top and bottom "indents" but could not find them.

Is it possible to add document wide margins to this component in the future?

Thanks for your help, and consideration!

Hi Rea

For that, you also need to set Editor.Paragraph.FirstIndent (which is relative to the Left Indent).

TIERichEdit uses the Windows Rich Edit API, which does not support top and bottom margins, but you can use the similar SpaceBefore and SpaceAfter:

// Add 1/4 inch of space before and after the paragraph
// const Points_Per_Inch = 72;
IERichEdit1.Paragraph.SpaceBefore := Round( 0.25 * Points_Per_Inch );
IERichEdit1.Paragraph.SpaceAfter  := Round( 0.25 * Points_Per_Inch );
