Default applying styles to form controls word 2007

Sorry, my mistake: I tested with a plain text control. :-(

Your description is accurate.

Hi Stefan,

Not what I see here. At least, where the Enter key is pressed, a pilcrow
(¶) terminates the line and running a macro with the command

MsgBox ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count

returns a number equal to the number of pilcrows that are present in the
document.

However, if you insert a Rich Text content control into a paragraph to
which bullets have been applied, every time you press enter a new
bulleted paragraph is inserted into the control.


Not really, since Word adds a line break rather than a paragraph mark
when pressing Enter inside a content control.

Ignore previous response. It appears that it is only the character
formatting of a style that is applied, not the paragraph
formatting/number formatting.

However, if you insert a Rich Text content control into a paragraph to
which bullets have been applied, every time you press enter a new
bulleted paragraph is inserted into the control.

i am creating forms in word 2007. I insert a plain text conrtol and in
the
properties create a style called bullets to create a multiline bulleted
list.
However when I type into the field no style is used and the enter key
produces a soft return instead of a paragraph. Cannot find any
information
on this. Also why doesn't the style present in the document appear in
the
Content Control Property box?

thaking anyone who can help me.
