Fillin-field
Hi
Hope someone can help me here in a very grey and overcast Edinburgh. I have set up a Fillin field and then used ref fields to copy this information into other places in my document. However I want one of this occurrences to have a different format (Bold 18) than the rest. Without having to go through each document (108) of them and manually changing them how can I set my template up so that this one occurence appears differently |

Becksie,
Use a \* CharFormat switch in that REF field. Format the "R" in "REF" with the particular format that you want that field to display. Break, It may be grey and overcast today, but a delightful city all the same. |

Thanks Greg
I tried this and hate to say but it didn't work. Here's what I typed: {REF Name \* CharFormat} with the R bold and 18 point. Any ideas? Would the number of spaces/inclusion of spaces make any difference? Becks PS: Most definitely a delightful city with a certain buzz about it that is only possible in Scotland.

Becksie,
By "it didn't work" do you mean the formatting didn't work or that the field didn't display the reference to the bookmark named "Name?" Your syntax looks correct. Did you enter the field code delimiters "{ }" with CTRL+F9? You can attach the document to an e-mail and I will look at it (no macros!!). I lived in Scotland for 3 years and visited your fair city several times. |
