Field, and formatting
For Word 97 and above
I have a variable field, tha is a field linked to the comtent of a document variable. The variable contains carriage returns and the field is displayed correctly on multiple lines: Line1 Line2 Line3 If I apply a numbering formatting to the field, it is displayed correctly: 1) Line1 2) Line2 3) Line3 But if I do a field update I lose the numbering style, and here's what i get: 1) Line1 Line2 Line3 Line4 If I do a CTRL-Z it goes back to how it should be 1) Line1 2) Line2 3) Line3 4) Line4 Any hint? Thanks |

Hi Gandalf,
As soon as you update a field, anything you've typed into the field or applied as formatting is removed. This is to be expected; it's how fields work. There are a couple of switches you can try adding to the DocVariable field, although neither were designed to work with number formatting, so results will be unpredictable, at best: \* CharFormat and \* MErgeformat I have a variable field, tha is a field linked to the comtent of a document variable.
