Delphi equivalent to Ctrl+K+D in Visual Studio?

Does Delphi 7 have the Ctrl K D option like Visual Studio to format the code ie/tidy it up and put all the indents etc in the right place?

You may use the very efficient JEDI code format.
I use it as an external tool, but a Delphi IDE pluggin can be installed for Delphi 7.
For use as an external tool :
1/ download the jcf_243_exe.zip
2/ unzip it in a directory
3/ run the JCFGui.exe : choose your project directory (save it before) and look the results !
4/ you may change the code format rules in the menu 'settings'/'Format settings'

For earlier versions of Delphi there is an "experimental" build of the GExperts plugin which has a configurable code formatter. It is available from TWM's website.

I have been using it to tidy up some inconsistently formatted code (written by multiple developers, none of who used MY layout style (based on the old Borland Style Guide)

In Delphi 2010 and later, Ctrl+D will activate the built-in formatter - but before then, there was no such feature in the IDE.

For Delphi 7, you will have to use a third-party plugin which provides a formatter.
