Description:
Note: Any screwy text in the function above is supposed to be a bullet. I copied and pasted the bullet from my character map. It works fine in the program, but perhaps not on this website.
I set up a text field called "Text Input." A user can type regular text into this field. I set up a second calculation field called "Text Output." and applied the SlideView custom function.
I used this function to make a viewer that simulates PowerPoint using FM. Good luck. If you want to see the file in action, email me and I will send it to you.

Typically, bulleted text is indented. Now if you had a function that could do that...
