As the title says can i pull all the text on word docs to a normal field without formatting it as plain text. Let say the text style is Bold when put it on filemaker field it should stay in bold text

Hi Chadski021,

Scribe does not have the capability to bring the formatting of the text in the Word document over to FileMaker. The text will inherit the formatting of the FileMaker field. So if you wanted all the text to be bold, you would need to set the formatting for that field in the Inspector.

How about the position of text can that be done? my problem is if there is a text that was aligned to right on docx it becomes realigned to left once i transfer it to normal field using scribe.

Unfortunately no. Scribe can only pull in the text. It can not carry over any formatting for the originating document. This is something that we will look into incorporating for the next major version of Scribe but it will be a while before that development occurs.

Ok thank you for the response, Another on docx we have header, body and footer. My question is there a way to just pull only the text from body?

Hi Chadski021,

    Scribe does not have that functionality either. I suppose you could put the header, body, and footer inside their own content-control fields and then you would be able specify what part of the document you want to pull into FileMaker. 

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the respose, Can you give me the process how to do that, Sorry i am bit new using scribe.
