Is there a plugin or something in Filemaker for a WYSIWYG? If you dont know what that is.. its a field this lets you type out formatted text, just just MS word. You can add color text, size, HTML links, images, etc.

behind the scenes, is a combination of HTML code and the text you type. When you submit to the database, the HTML and content is stored.

Sample:

Hello [color:red]World!

When you view the result on the web or in Filemaker, you see the formatted content.

Just like in Yahoo mail or Gmail.

Thank you!

Check out the Field Options in Layout Mode.

Layout Mode >> Field Control >> Setup >> Auto-complete using previously entered values

and see if that helps.

What you are looking for could be implemented using the TinyMCE Javascript plugin in a FM Webviewer. Then on the submit action you take the returned HTML and store it in database.

Then just use WebViewer to display it.

TinyMCE is very easy to use, it just turns all TEXTAREA HTML fields into Rich Text editing fields that has a toolbar just like Word.

Let us know if you get this working. I wanted to see if this could be done to provide a way for users to create and edit Rich Text email templates.
