Hello, and thanks for the response.
Here are the two files that I am trying to combine.
The invoice template has an open textbox (alt f9 to remove view).
I move the insertion point to the top left of the textbox, then use the Insert, object, text from file, insert as link.
As you can see there are a lot of extra spaces that I would use the backspace character to print the file, but now I print to a file (report.txt) I can no longer use the ^h to do this.
I know I could delete these spaces manually, but it would be a time consuming effort to do this on every invoice.
I was hoping that as the report.txt file is inserted as a “link”, the information would automatically change when I updated the .txt file, so all I would have to do on each invoice would be pdf it and email it.
Hope this makes some sort of sense.
