Font Formatting Problem in Layout

Featured Replies

  • Author

In my FMP 7 database, I have a layout/report that uses info from two tables. When I bring up the basic tabular layout for one of the tables, call it table A, I notice that due to some cutting and pasting done in populating the table, the font style varies across the fields and rows.

When I view my layout/report in Preview mode, I find that the field font styles I specified in my layout/report design are ignored and the font styles seen in the basic tabular layout are being used instead. How can this font style override be eliminated without resetting the font style of every field in every row in table A?

I hope this makes sense shocked.gif

Thanks,

Steve C.

Hi Steve, and welcome to the Forum.

Please use FileMaker terms, it will help us follow what you are talking about, and zero in on a solution. There is no Tabular view in FileMaker, you can create a "List" in Layout Mode, or you can view your data in "Table", "List" and "Form" Views in Browse Mode.

When you copy text and paste it, it will retain the formatting of what you copied. You can remove the styling by holding down the Option key along with the Command and the V keys (Opt + Cmd + v) when pasting into FileMaker. You can change the text already in the field by using Replace. Do a Search of "All Forums" using the Key words of +Paste +Without +Style (as shown including the + plus sign) and you will find several Treads about this.
