Remove formatting from text field from related database

Hi,

I have defined a relationship in my filemaker project to a completely separate database, I have created a new layout and dropped in fields from the related database. I have applied formatting to these fields - font size, font family etc, however in browser mode I am still seeing the formatting from the related database, not as formatted in my database layout. I'm sure I've seen an option to change this and override the styling of the related database but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Kevin

If they have manually formatted the text in the field it overrides the layout field settings. There is no way to unformat the text without actually removing the applied formatting. I'm not sure if you're in the position to "edit" their data.

So, I'd probably create calc fields for my use. For example, dsp_Field = TextFormatRemove ( relationship::Field)
