##### Right

Enter the distance in inches (or the default measurement for your report) that you want the paragraph to be indented from the right margin of the page.

##### Line spacing

Enter the spacing you want for lines as a multiple of the font size you are using, or as an exact number of points.

##### Of

Use this box to enter the multiple you want to use (if you selected Multiple for Line Spacing), or the number of points (if you selected Exact for Line Spacing).

##### Text interpretation

Use this list to select the type of pre-formatted data (string or memo fields only) or text you are inserting in a field. Seagate Crystal Reports extracts information about the font, size, style, color, and paragraph and displays the data or text with the specified attributes.

Your choices are:

- "none" to interpret the string or memo field or imported text as if it contains plain text
- "RTF Text" to interpret the string or memo field or imported text as if it contains Rich Text Format data
- "HTML Text" to interpret the string or memo field or imported text as if it contains HTML data.
