Formatting Code in Programming
Apr 4th, 2007 at 9:54pm
Print Post Print Post  
I would like to have a mail merge that would selectively include paragraphs of text in a MS Word document depending on the value in a field (a checkbox in my case.)

I have this part working.

What I need is a way to put some formatting codes in the programming so that the paragraphs can have bold text or centered text.  Can this be done in programming? If not in programming - any other ideas?  

Thanks

I've had good luck doing this with HTML and IncludeText in Word.

Take a look at the August 206 Inside Sesame.  I wrote this up in terms of subrecords, but it's worked well with other HTML options as well.

It works perfectly.  I just put the paragraphs I want to include in a separate word document and use a conditional with IncludeText.  The conditional compares the results of the desired element in Sesame and if true includes the other word document complete with all formatting.

Thanks again.  

Great article!   This opens up so many more possibilities.   Thank you.
