Report Studio - Indent 2nd line on Word Wrap

[jimvision]

Hi Everyone

Is there a way to indent the second line of a string variable?  I've seen posts on cross tabs but this is just a string variable.  I'm very green to Cognos reporting.

We're using Cognos 10.1.1 Report Studio to create college transcripts.  The variable in question is the course name.  Course names can get quite lengthy and their are 2 columns on a page and other variables competing for space, like grades.

Example:  Lets say the course name is BIO 361 Molecular & Classical Genetics in Mammals and the column width is 20 characters.  I need to indent the 2nd and subsequent lines.


BIO 361 Molecular &
   Classical Genetics
   in Mammals


Is there a way I can do this with Conditional formatting? 

Many thanks for any advice

Jim

HTML Items with embedded CSS can do this. You can use negative values with text-indent and margin, for example you could use a 70px margin and -70px text-indent.

Surround your data item with HTML Items, in the first use <div style="margin: 70px; text-indent: 70px;"> and in the second close the div with </div>.

Just apply what I said in the second paragraph. You may need to unlock the data container to put the HTML Items around your data item.
