Mats Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Copy and paste the text from Word onto a layout in FileMaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 The formating of the text will not stay, such as centered, tabs etc. That was my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 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?

mr_vodka Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hmm, In FM Pro 8.5 Advanced there is no "Paste Special" only the "Patse" under the Edit menu ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have 8.5 Advance and it shows up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_vodka Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Ah, I thought that Macs have this function too. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Argh! Windows have but not Mac, BAD of FM, but maybe they have another solution for Mac then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
