Text Alignment

Hi everyone,

I've been facing an issue regarding text alignment. I've included an example of what our text looks like below:

Is there any way to make the text all line-up under the "you" at the beginning? It should look like the text below:

WARNING: YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN

HOLD THE RADOME BEFORE YOU REMOVE/

INSTALL IT. THE RADOME IS HEAVY. IF IT FALLS,

IT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND

DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.

I've also included images of the FOSI below:

    With FOSI, this is done with a hanging indent and a kern-to, which is like a tab stop. For example (in pseudo-code):

    e-i-c gi=warning

    indent inherit=1 firstln=*-4.5pi leftind=4.5pi

    usetext source=\WARNING:\

    e-i-c gi=para context=warning occur=first

    usetext source=@4.5pi

    This approach is also used for hanging lists.

    The simplest (probably) is two separate pieces of text. Place one offset and reference the other to keep them together.

    In APP you can handle this via the "relative indent" function <?ri>. In FOSI you should use the "side by side" feature.
