Maintaining style formatting in AutoText entries
I created a protected template for our users to fill out. I want them to able
to add a page, if needed, that includes all the text fields/table from the original page. So I wrote a macro and added a toolbar button which, when pressed; 1) unlocks the template, 2) places the cursor at the bottom of the document, 3) creates a new page, 4) pastes the original contents of the template which I copied into an AutoText entry, and then 5) locks the template again so the user may tab through the text fields. My problem is when the table is pasted in from AutoText it loses all the styles (formatting)... Column headings are no longer centered or in bold, rows are not the same height as they are in the original table on the first page of the document, etc. Is there any way to retain style formatting in tables pasted from AutoText entries? |

Maintaining style formatting in AutoText entries
Hi ?B?dGFtaW5hdG9y?=,
I created a protected template for our users to fill out. I want them to able to add a page, if needed, that includes all the text fields/table from the original page. So I wrote a macro and added a toolbar button which, when pressed; 1) unlocks the template, 2) places the cursor at the bottom of the document, 3) creates a new page, 4) pastes the original contents of the template which I copied into an AutoText entry, and then 5) locks the template again so the user may tab through the text fields. My problem is when the table is pasted in from AutoText it loses all the styles (formatting)... Column headings are no longer centered or in bold, rows are not the same height as they are in the original table on the first page of the document, etc. Is there any way to retain style formatting in tables pasted from AutoText entries? Please show us the macro code, and tell us the version of Word you're working with. If you insert the AutoText "by hand", is the formatting retained?
