Another way to solve the problem: The text in the field "f1" is saved as html text in a custom property (in this case on the card) called "Newdata": set the Newdata of this cd to the htmlText of fld "f1" The text is converted to "normal" text to appear in the same field "f1": set the htmlText of fld "text" to the Newdata of this cd -- 1. amanuensis Signe Marie Sanne e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Romansk Institutt tel: +47 55 58 21 27 Oysteins gt. 1 5007 Bergen http://www.hf.uib.no/hfolk/mlab/default.html Norway _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
