How can I change the format of text pasted into a Mail email from another document?

I paste some text from a word document into an email in Mail.  In the word document, the text was indented .5" from the right margin.  In the Mail email document, the text also appears indented .5" from the right margin.
But since this was the last text in the email I am composing, my text following the pasted-in part continues at the indented "style" of the pasted in text.  And thre are no controls for changing this indentation on subsequent text in that email, nor can you chage the indentation formatting of the text pasted in.
Even when you select "decrease indentation" under the format/indentation options in the menu bar, Mail will not reduce a "pasted-in" paragraph indentation nor will it return a subsequent text paragraph you type in manually back to a left-adjusted margin.
Am I miising something?
Is there a way to see something in each Mail message composition window akin to what you see in a word processing document that allows you to set margins and indentations and tabs for individual paragraphs?  Just like the Formatting controls you have here in the Apple Support communities when you ar composing a message and that I used to indent this paragraph?
And then used to return this paragraph back to the original left adjusted formatting?
Steve

Thanks for the reminder.  I use the formatting toolbar but forgot to go there instead of the Format menubar item for Mail to try the indent and outdent commands.
But, alas, that indent, outdent option has no impact on text pasted into the message.  It remains stuck at the indent level of the source text.
Might the answer lie in switching to plain text and formatting there?  Tried that and no difference.
I did discover that if you highlight text pasted in with its "own" indentation preference "baked in" you can indent that text further and even "outdent" it back to where it was, but you cannot shake it's original indentation status to get it back to full left margins.

  • How can i  change the column label text in a alv table display

    how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
    A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
    <i>*  declare column, settings, header object
    DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
    DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
    DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
    get column by specifying column name.
    lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
    set Header Text as null
    lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
    lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).</i>
    My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
    <i>"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."</i>
    i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
    <i>lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).</i>Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
    Thanks,
    Suri

    I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e  it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...

  • How can i change the sequence of text element in standard driver program ?

    Hi,
    can u tell me how can i change the sequence of text element in standard  sapscript driver program.. without making a zcopy of standard driver program.
    My problem is when MEDRUCK form is getting printed for PO print , header text is coming before item. But the requirement is to come it after item.So how cani do that without making the zcopy of  SAPLMEDRUCK program..Is there any enhancement point in SAPLMEDRUCK driver program..where i can put my customise code for changing the sequence of text element ?

    Hi,
        Just copy the MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK. No need to copy the driver program.
    1) SE71Menu > Utilities > COpy from Client
    MEDRUCK ->>Client 000
    New formname ZMEDRUCK
    2) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in DE language in SE71
    3) Menu > Utilities > Convert original Language
    Change DE  to EN, save and activate
    4) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in EN language
    5) Goto Pagewindows > Main window,
    Look for the HEADER text Text element, copy the whole code under this Text element just after the ITEM text Text element, and comment the HEADER text above.
    Now the Header text Text element will be below ITEM text only. This will full fill your requirment.
    Now goto NACE transaction and add the copied ZMEDRUCK to the EF application.

  • My mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

  • I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

    I guess you mean one of the resume templates.
    What "format" have you saved your finished resume in?
    The only formats a Windows user will be able to open are .doc (Word), .pdf and rtf. The 1st 2 are usually the best.
    There is no Windows version of Pages.

  • HT1222 how can i change the old owners keychain password into mine

    how can i change an old owners keychain password into mine so i can update software

    Create a new keychain.
    I'd generally suggest acquiring and wiping and installing the most recent version of OS X onto the system that it'll support, as you'll spend more time and effort undoing what was done before.  You can usually get the proper distro with a call to Apple.
    Given the iBook is PPC, you'll be limited to Leopard (10.5) at most, and possibly not that version.

  • DITA + FM: How can I change the automatically insert text for the element info?

    Hello,
    when I insert the element info in a topic, FrameMaker automatically insert the text "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:".
    How can I change that?
    I know how to change it for the elements result, postreq and prereq. I change the text format rules for the elements in the topic.edd.
    But the element info has no text format rules and when I search in the topic.edd for the text "additional" or "info" I dont find something.
    With kind regards,
    Nina

    Hi Scott,
    thanks a lot for your reply! I've found the code in the EDD on page 65.
    "... is using the @type attribute value ..." - I have changed the values in the DTD (Structure\xml\DITA\app\dtd\commonElements.mod), but that didn't had any effect, not even after a restart of FM. I also changed the note attribute values in "dita-map.edd.fm" and "topic.edd.fm". Nothing. When I insert a note tag FM still inserts the original values.
    Did I missunderstand something? Further tips?

  • In Numbers, how can you change the format of a cell on ipad mini?

    I used the paintbrush but the changes are not taking on the ipad mini but it keeps going back to the 'automatic' default.

    Hi Dempb,
    One of the ways this can happen is if the cells you are trying to format are the result of a formula or coming from elswhere in the table. For instance, if I have the formula SUM that is totaling a column formated "currency" I will not be able to change its format to "text".
    What do you want to do? there may be another way to accomplish it.

  • How can i change the Format of my DATE column?

    I need to change the date format for a whole column. At present i can do MM-DD-YYYY. I need to change this this to DD-MMM-YYYY.
    I know about the to_date function, i tried to apply it to change the format of my whole column by doing the following.....
    CREATE TABLE "IT220_DATEHOLIDAY"
    "DEPARTID" VarChar(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
    "HOLCODE" VARCHAR2(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
    "DEPARDATE" DATE,
    to_date('DATE','DD-MMM-YYYY'), <<<change DATE column to DD-MMM-YYYY
    CONSTRAINT "DATEHOLIDAY_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DEPARTID") ENABLE
    ORA-00902: invalid datatype <<<<This was the error message i received.
    I am aware that the to_date function is supposed to be used to change strings into a certain format. I guess this means you cant do it with columns? Is there anyway i can format the whole column or do i have to do each string of data entered one by one?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Jay,
    I'm not sure you hit the right forum, as this doesn't seem to be a problem with APEX.
    Anyway:
    You can't use that function on a table like that, and as you already suggested, the to_date-function expects a string value.
    It seems you also have a misunderstanding of the basic datatypes in the database. DATE is such a datatype and is stored an internal format you don't need to care about. Each time your request the value, the database will give you a string representation according to either your locale or you give a certain formatting mask.
    The same applies to insert or update operations: you hand in either a variable of type DATE or use a function like to_date to create an "object" of type date.
    You may be interested in reading the documentation of the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/toc.htm]Oracle Database Concepts. The section concerning datatype DATE can be found here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/tablecls.htm#CBBGJHJC
    An overview of formatting options can be found here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements004.htm#SQLRF00212
    So to answer your question: You would format it as part of your insert operation, taking a string and convert it using to_date.
