bullet / merging trouble
doing something weird with the combination of using field codes to get text
from another document at the start of a bullet list. This results in not showing the first bullet. When removing field references it shows the correct result - would be a problem alwas having to do that. Are there somewhere you can post a file so someone else can take a look at it ? |

Not sure about everything you are doing, so I may not be helping here. But
in the area of the Word document that you want the bullet info pasted, I would first format that area with bulleting you want and then Paste Special the data you are getting elsewhere into that bulleted spot that you formatted in your document. -- Top Notch Admin "Michael Vardinghus" wrote: doing something weird with the combination of using field codes to get text from another document at the start of a bullet list.

Post the field construction you are using here in the body of the message -
http://www.gmayor.com/export_field.htm should help with that. The issue may simply be corrected by applying a bulleted paragraph style to the requisite field and using a charformat switch to format according to the applied style. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Michael Vardinghus wrote: doing something weird with the combination of using field codes to get text from another document at the start of a bullet list.

Let's get rid of all those mergeformats for a start.
Try: {IF {COMPARE {DOCVARIABLE "GARNEDDATO1"} " " } = 1 "{INCLUDETEXT "C:\\FIL1.DOT" \*charformat}" "{INCLUDETEXT "C:\\FIL2.DOT" \*charformat}"} and apply the bulleted paragraph style to the whole paragraph. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Michael Vardinghus wrote: Thanx both for your response....!!! {IF {COMPARE {DOCVARIABLE "GARNEDDATO1" \* MERGEFORMAT} " " \* MERGEFORMAT } = 1 {INCLUDETEXT "C:\FIL1.DOT" \* MERGEFORMAT} {INCLUDETEXT "C:FIL2DOT" \* MERGEFORMAT} \* MERGEFORMAT} The text in the first document is (sorry bout the danish...: Den 10. december nedskrives garantien til 10 % .....
