Hi again


I think I have followed your example to the tee - thank you. (Well, in the actual code I have not inserted the tabs and the soft carriage return. They actually create some issues in the output ...) No different outcome I'm afraid - just coloured text on the white page background of the document..


I have attached a screenshot of the mail merge code in the table cell.


I have also attached a screenshot of a sample page output. As you can see the text colour is the colour I am hoping the table cell will be shaded.


I may just be doing something really simple - but wrong ...



Thank you for your assistance ehre - much appreciated

Wayne

All that tells me is that you're colouring the text instead of highlighting it. Look at the document in the link I posted.
There is nothing attached to your post.

Morning


Sorry, I just don't get it - I think I have attached the two screen prints from last night correctly this time.


I think the logic of all of this sums up why programming was never my forte ...


Thank you for all your assistance with this. I look at the other attachment and to me it is as clear as mud - well, perhaps not that muddled, but I still cannot see why this is not working.


Cheers

Hello Paul


The shading of the cell is now working really well. Thank you!



I am having difficulty centering that selection in the table cell - height is OK, but I cannot get it centred across the page. Are there controls within \*CHARFORMAT that I can use do you think?


Thank you - regards
