Changing Font / Rich Text Formatting / Merging / Text Fileds
I have created a form in WORD. The form is being used as a template in a
RiskMaster database. When the form is merged with the data, the program automatically saves it in Rich Text Formatting and I loose all of my text form fileds. Is there any way to prevent this? (The document must be unprotected for the data to merge, and then protected by the user to complete). I tried to create and alternative by removing the text fields. I would like the text of the document to be one font and the portions that users fill in to be another. For some reason I can't get the font to stick in all areas that are blank, but need to be filled in by the users. This seemed simple at first, but I can't get it to work. HELP!! Any ideas?? I would REALLY appreciate any thoughts!!!~ |

Changing Font / Rich Text Formatting / Merging / Text Fileds
Hi ?B?RXJpbkpveQ==?=,
I have created a form in WORD. The form is being used as a template in a RiskMaster database. When the form is merged with the data, the program automatically saves it in Rich Text Formatting and I loose all of my text form fileds. Is there any way to prevent this? (The document must be unprotected for the data to merge, and then protected by the user to complete). I tried to create and alternative by removing the text fields. I would like the text of the document to be one font and the portions that users fill in to be another. For some reason I can't get the font to stick in all areas that are blank, but need to be filled in by the users. This seemed simple at first, but I can't get it to work. HELP!! Any ideas?? I would REALLY appreciate any thoughts!!!~ Difficult to say, based on what you tell us. You don't even mention the version of Word involved. I'm guessing the problem may stem from how the data is being put into the form fields, not by saving to RTF format. Are you able to show us the code being used for this?
