MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2005Formatted default text for Rich Text Box control
How could I add a formatted default text to a Rich Text Box control without doing any custom coding (I mean just through the GUI). Is it possible anyways? Please help, Thanks, Keyur Hi Keyur, In order to get formatted default text in a Rich Text control you will need to extract the form files and set what you want in the Template.XML file. Let me know if you would like sample steps... Scott L. Heim Microsoft Developer Support This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Thanks Scott, Well do let me know the steps if there are any additional steps involved over and above, File/Extract form files... and than actually editing the Template.XML Where do I save it? (at the same location where I extracted it!!) Thanks, Keyur Shah > Hi Keyur, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Hi Keyur, You are correct - extract the form files and open Template.XML with, say, Notepad. Locate the field for your Rich Text Control and then add the necessary XML. So as an example, my Rich Text control is named field1, I've added the word "Test" to the default value field but I want it to be bold. So currently, in Template.XML I see this: <my:field1>Test</my:field1> In order to see this default text with a bold font, I modified this to the following: <my:field1><strong xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Test</strong></my:field1> I hope this helps! Scott L. Heim Microsoft Developer Support This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Thanks again scott, but my question still remains, where do I save the template.xml after modifying. I tried it by saving it at the same location where I extracted it, but it didnt worked. Help. Thanks, Keyur > Hi Keyur, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Hi Keyur, My apologies - I missed that part. Once you modify the Template.XML file, you will need to right-click on Manifest.XSF, choose Design and then do a File->Save As to re-save this as an XSN file. Let me know if this works for you! Best Regards, Scott L. Heim Microsoft Developer Support This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights I got it. Thanks Scott. But one last doubt to confirm. Once we re-save the manifest file as an XSN file, will that become the original file and can i discard the previous original file from which I actually extracted all these files. > Hi Keyur, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Hi Keyur, When you open the Manifest.XSF file in Design View and choose File->Save As, you can either create a new XSN file or simply overwrite your previous XSN file...whichever you prefer. Me personally? I am paranoid by heart, so I always keep backups after making changes until I am sure I did everything correctly! <G> Take care, Scott L.
