Font type and size after copy and paste

[Eva Arriaga]

I have a client using FMP13 on a Windows8 computer, who is telling me that in the past she would copy text an email address or text from any program, for example outlook, and paste it in FM and once pasted the text would show as the default of FM Font and size.

 

Now, and I do not know how or why, any copy and paste retains the font and size of the source.

 

Can anyone point to where can I change this back to the original behavior??

 

Thank you!

This need comes up from time to time. To retain the default font, just use the TextFormatRemove ( Self ) function. Go to the Options for the field, select the  Calculated value “Specify...” for the calc, use  TextFormatRemove (Self ) and then click Okay, and then deselect “Do not replace existing value of field (if any)

 

If you have some values you need to change that are existing in the field now, you will need to make the Field a calculation field, with the TextFormatRemove ( Self ) first. once the changes are made change the field back to text and do the step mention above.

 

Please ask questions if you don’t understand.

I corrected the function.
