I wonder if I could create the template letter in Word, have Word
turn it into HTML for me, and store the HTML file in a folder...
have Rev open the file, read it, change it, and paste it into the
field, then print?
Here's one way: Create your form letter with the text the way you want
it in one or more fields. For the parts that will have text inserted,
use merge markers [[ ]] (See Jan Schenkel's article in the latest
newsletter for details. Its VERY powerful—you can do ANYTHING!). Now,
copy the htmltext of the field(s) from the property inspector and stow
it away in a custom property. To set the text, with formatting AND
substitutions:
set the htmlText of fld "bodyText" to merge(the uFormText of field
"bodyText")
Presto!
