Greetings Filemaker denizens. I'm working in FM 8.5, trying to ensure that text pasted into a text field is stored as 11 pt Verdana.
The text originates from a variety of sources, such as websites, and consequently, often has ransom note overtones. My initial thinking was to use an auto-enter calculation using TextFormatRemove(fieldname) to strip out existing formatting from the text. That works up to a point, but this approach also kills any subsequent edits made to the field contents (such as making some words bold). So why not use an auto-enter calc to set the text to 11pt Verdana? This is where I'm coming unstuck. I know I can specify the typeface, OR the size, but I can't figure out how to specify BOTH the typeface AND the size. I've hunted around for an example of a custom function that might do this, but I'm not making much headway. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks John Perrin
