MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / January 2006vbCrLf displays as ? in formfields
I'm trying to populate a series of formfields in a word doc with info obtained programmatically from outlook. my problem is that if the outlook field contains a linefeed character or a carriage return (among others), the formfield in word displays it as ?? instead of inserting a Linefeed. so an address displays as... 123 anystreet ?? Las Vegas, NV ?? USA instead of 123 anystreet Las Vegas, NV USA here's the code in question contractdoc.documentscontractdocid).formfields"Customer_Address").result=Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1).BusinessAddress All thoughts appreciated.

And there's no paragraph mark (¶) preceding the end-of-cellmarker? This is a known bug in Word. Press ENTER at the end of the cell and the problem should go away. (If this makes the cell "too tall", set an exact row height) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
