If I have a textfield (static), and it is multi-lined, let’s say two lines and the first line is numbered, how do I get the second line to line up with the first letter in the first line rather than the number. For example:

1. The chicken crossed  
the road.

How do I get the “t” in “the” on the second line to line up with the “T” in “The” on the first line?

Thanks!
