Steve Jensen Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 I am using Scribe to write data to an Excel template that I've loaded into a container field. Unfortunately, while the first write works fine, subsequent writes seem to be overwriting the cell formatting, putting it back into the Verdana font and elimination word wrap, centering, cell colors, etc. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Steve Jensen Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 Some additional notes: I'm on a Mac using OS X 10.6.8, Scribe version 1.25, and Filemaker 11 advanced. Very strange, and very frustrating.
Steve Jensen Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Did some more investigations... numbers seem to translate with the formatting intact, but text does not. I can email anyone a demo file if they are interested... it won't let me update it to the forum.

epeeler Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks for that. It appears like it's a bug with Scribe. I will make a bug report with your sample file and hopefully we can get it sorted out.
Steve Jensen Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 Curious as to whether any progress has been made on this...
wbasham Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Not as of yet. We have recently been able to reproduce the problem and are working on a resolution.
Steve Jensen Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 Just downloaded Version 1.26... works great! Thanks, guys. Problem solved. Version 1.26 (12/8/2011) * Fixed loss of formatting with .xlsx files with ScribeDocWriteValue * Fixed loss of formatting with .docs files with ScribeDocSubstitute * Fixed loss of formatting with .docx files with Content Control Fields and ScribeDocWriteValue * Fixed "flatten" flag to work on ScribeDocSaveContainer * Added ability to retrieve PDF metadata: author, creation date, mod date, creator, producer, subject. Functionality is available in ScribeDocReadValue function.
wbasham Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I apologize for not posting this here for everyone. We got this fixed and deployed in the latest version. Should work fine now.
