Help Needed With Document Fields

macropod · #1 12-05-2013, 06:39 PM

Your 'odd' characters are a visible representation of ASCII 21, which represents a protected character that closes a field. The reason these field characters are displayed is that the cells in which they appear have the 'fit text' attribute checked.

Thanks Paul, but I'm not sure if they are appearing because of 'fit text' attribute.

Linked is the dialog with the field properties (they're all the same).

Where are you getting this 'fit text' from?

Thanks!

As I said:

This is not a property of the formfields, but of the cells.

AHHHHH! I now understand what you said!!!

I've changed to attributes of the CELL, and wa-la, the special character disappeared.

Thank YOU ALL!!
