April 30, 200718 yr I have some text formated Diplomas in MS Word and and now I want to import them in Filemaker in order to use my Student database to print the Diplomas. Is there a way to import the Diploma as it is formated in Filemaker? I have looked around in the guide but did not find any answer there.
May 1, 200718 yr Author The formating of the text will not stay, such as centered, tabs etc. That was my question.
May 1, 200718 yr Hmmm, I just tested pasting from Word to FMPA 8.5 and you're right -- all paragraph formatting is lost. Sadly, I repeated the test with FMD 6.0v4 and the formatting is retained. Would somebody else like to test with FMP 8.0? Or on the Windows platform?
May 1, 200718 yr Try using 'Paste Special' from the 'Edit' Menu. Then an option for Microsoft Office Word Document appears. Select that and it should paste with the formatting.
May 2, 200718 yr Author Hmm, In FM Pro 8.5 Advanced there is no "Paste Special" only the "Patse" under the Edit menu ???
May 3, 200718 yr Author Argh! Windows have but not Mac, BAD of FM, but maybe they have another solution for Mac then?
May 3, 200718 yr I am not sure it's FMI's fault (this time) - OLE technology belongs to Microsoft and is not supported by Mac OS X. How long can it take to format a decent diploma layout in Filemaker?
May 3, 200718 yr Author Maybe you have a point there. I takes time as it is an evaluation and graduation to. Also one is in Swedish and one in English. But paste special should just be for different OLE or??
May 3, 200718 yr I really don't know that much about it. I don't even have MS Office installed. Perhaps you can learn more starting from http://www.filemaker.com/help/16-OLE18.html
