stevie.at Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Is there a way to change the text format automatically in the fileds within FM? I don't mean all the text formats FM gives you - but by copy & paste text into a field the format will appear as styled text...So if user do some research on the web and copy data into FM fields (without any buttons and scripts to paste the text without style) everything looks like patchwork...
quillpro Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 So you want the pasted text to look the same as the entered text? So all the text is the same no matter how it was inputed? If so, you can set up an auto enter by clac to read the fields content reformat and enter back into the same field. Be sure to uncheck do not replace field contents.
Ender Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 By using this auto-entered calc, you can remove any formatting to text as it is entered into the field: Evaluate ( Quote ( Field ) ) The formatting of the field on the layout will be used instead.
stevie.at Posted April 11, 2005 Author Posted April 11, 2005 Thanks guys! Couldn't make the first option work (means the text formatting functions) in a quick shot but the quote funcion works fine! good hint! Are there any drawbacks about performance/speed of the whole system if you provide many fields with this option?
Ender Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 I shouldn't think there would be any performance issues with this.
