Is there a way to format the left alignment or right alignment of a text box
so the text isn't right up tight with the border? Some way to indent by one
space? The users dont want center alignment but doesn't like the left or
right align without any space before the border line.

Thanks

I know in Access 2k and newer ... text boxes have a Left/Top/Right/Bottom
Margin formatting. You can set the left and right margins of your text
boxes to .03 in order to give it a little bit of buffer without having to
change alignment.

Hope that helps!

Robbie's reply sounds like a good one. Another workaround is to place a
blank box (rectangle from Tool box) over the text field, send the rectangle
box to the back (From Menu Bar click "Format" and then click "Send to Back".
Then, enlarge the rectangle box slightly on all sides so that the text field
has some "margin" space surrounding it on all four sides. The rectangle
needs to be the same color background as the text field background of course.
