If the text is inheriting its textfont, textstyle, textsize, etc... from an object higher up in the message path, then that information would not be kept in the htmltext.
You can do something like this: Put the effective textstyle of char 5 of field "myField" into tMyVariable -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 8:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: HTMLtext problem I need to get an accurate record of the text styles within a field but htmlText doesn't seem to report everything. If "This is a test" is entered into a field without any changes, I get... <p>this is a test</p> Font, size, style and color information is not reported. It seems that I have to change the font, size, color and style of some selected text within the field to something other than the default settings to get the additional style information. For example, once I've made these changes, the following now gets reported: <p><font face="Arial Black" size="14" color="#FF0000"><u>this is a test</u></font></p> Is there a simpler way to get this to happen?
