      Does anyone know what the ID tag for Indent to Here character might be?

      When I export to ID tagged text and then place the file back into ID, I’m getting a return. In Word, it looks like a rectangle, in TextEdit there is nothing not even a space, and in TextWrangler it is the upside down red question mark.

      Thanks,
      Janine

      Edit: I forgot to mention that I searched through Adobe’s pdf on Tagged text and could not find anything for it there. So maybe there isn’t a tag for it.

      What version of InDesign?
      When I insert an indent here character, export as tagged text, make a change in Text Wrangler, save, then Place the new version into InDesign, the indent here character is still there. No loss.

      I think it doesn’t show up in Text Wrangler (or, does show up, but as a question mark as you said) because it’s a special “low-ascii” character.

      You can type an “indent to here” character yourself in tagged text by typing: <0x0007>

        I’m using ID CS6. I’ve tried different import options but it is always coming in as a hard return.

        Thanks for the unicode for this. I didn’t see it listed in the list you have below or in the pdf I looked in either.

        Thanks!

      OK. It seems that I can’t open in word and save as .txt. If I open in TextWrangler and save from there, then place that file, I get the correct character.

      Thanks!

      Ah, yes. Word will almost certainly mangle all kinds of things in tagged text. You need to use a text editor, not a word processor. :)

      I am looking to insert the “Indent to here” character in a XML-file I then import into InDesign.
      But I need the code for this.
      I can insert a Quarter Space using this   in the XML.
      But if I modify it to &#x00007; I get invalid character when I import.

      Does anybody know if this is possible?
