How can I get the text to go to the second tab each time there's no place & the text moves down

 

see below.

Use a left indent for the 2 to move over - don't need a tab.

Then put a tab after 2 between red peppers

Then use a First Line Indent to push over the 2nd line

 

 

 

If you don't want to or can't use indents and want to use multiple tabs and just flow the text under some other

like this

 

You need to insert the Indent to Here charcter

 

 

 

 

It's the dagger like symbol as shown here - and text flows to this point

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

I still wnat the '2' and 'red peppers sliced' there.
'into strips' needs to go under 'red peppers siliced'

I gave you 2 ways.

 

The 2nd way achieves what you want - don't use a hard return to get to the next line - if you need to go next line use a soft return (shift + enter/return key) 

Then use the indent to here character. 

 

But the best way is a left indent + first line indednt - as shown in option 1

The dot '.' is a grep code for any character. And in this instance it's messing with the pattern.

 

. represents any character at all it's a wild card.

You need to use \. for a dot - the \ is the escape key so it looks for a . and not any character. 

 

so your code would be if you want ot include the dot is

\b(t)(?=bsp\.\b)

 

But you don't need to do this because 

\b and code ending with \b wraps it a word boundary.

so it won't matter if it's tbsp. or tbsp: or tbsp, etc. 

 

once it finds tbsp it will change the first letter to Tbsp

If you include the full stop using \. you're limiting the scope of the pattern.

 

But if that's what you want then go for it.


I understand it should work,

but see how it's not working!?

Do you see what I'm doing wrong or can I share the file with you?
