Hi Shari,
Using the htmlText property is probably the way to go, but I just want
to point out the you can put text into a position in a field without
losing any formatting.
put "bla" into word 2 of fld x
put "bla" into char 1 to 4 of fld x
put "bla" before fld x
put "bla" after fld x
All these lines will not change the formatting of the remaining text
in the field.

Every word in the field becomes plain text.
I used: replace xyz with newText
I had put specific text that would frequently be updated into the
field, so I used placeholder text to swap out.
Basically what I'm trying to do is create a form letter of sorts on
a card, plug in the info and print the card so that it's a nice,
neat letter. In reading thru the archives there were three
suggestions on how to do this.
1. Export the info from Rev and bring it into a word processor to
make nice letters
2. Use some external program in conjunction with Rev (I don't
recall the name of it)
3. Create a template stack with the letter in it, fill in the info
and print it
I'm opting for number three. One is too confusing for the users (I
already know this from experience, and promised them a one-click
solution where Rev does all the work), and two would have to be
purchased, another no-no. So three it is.
I'm more than willing to use actual HTML if need be, or create an
RTF file and have Rev open it, read it, replace the text, and paste
it into the card for printing. I've just never done any of this so
I'm kind of muddling.
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?
Shari
