Maintain Formatting

Allegheny
in Importing & Exporting

Featured Replies

Is there any way to maintain formatting during the import/export process? I just spent two days trying to get the formatting right on a field (i.e., looking in Filemaker like I need it to look when I export it to a different program, likely a word processing program). But when I did a test export and opened it in a word processing program, all the formatting (mostly Carriage Returns) was gone.

Suggestions?

Only *data* is imported/exported. Unless the formatting is embedded in the data as a markup language (like html or perhaps rtf) it cannot be transferred.

The CRs should transfer OK in FM export.

Ever tried copy & paste? This get the formatting (fold/italic ..).

And can be scripted...

- which platform

- which word processor

- which FileMaker version
