Forcing a field to keep its text formatting

[frankchi]

Hello,

How can I force a field to retain the font size, style, and formatting that i've set it to? Users are able to override this and change the font when they enter data, but I don't want them to be able to do that.

For example, they'll cut and paste from a Word document and my pretty Arial 10pt field will suddenly have Times New Roman 12pt text in it.

Is there a calculation or something I can do to the field so that it re-sets the field's text formatting or simply ignores any formatting that the user tries to do?

Thanks in advance,

Frank

Please, what is the answer to this! It is causing no end of problems. The Synchronise with field font option DOES NOT WORK!!

You can either have your users paste holding down the option key, or add this auto-enter calc to the field:

evaluate(quote(field))

Or in version 8:

textformatremove(field)
