How to "pre-format" text file output from a database to Word
I need to know how I can "preformat" text output from a database (i.e. bold
etc.) so that the text file will be treated correctly in Word. There must be a way of "coding" the various Word attributes, but I have'nt been able to find it anywhere. |

Insert HTML tags and save the file with an .htm extension, and Word will interpret them when it opens the file. For example, create a text file with this content and name it formatting.htm: html body This text contains a bbold/b word and an iitalic/i word. /body /html Then open the file in Word and see the formatting. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
