Ah yes, sorry I didn't specify that. It is part of an existing doc: I
have a Django web application with a Report model which contains
information I need to put into a word document. Most of this is simple
stuff requiring no formatting, and I achieve this by defining several
bookmarks within the master template and populate them like so:
doc.Bookmarks("prepared_for").Range.Text = job.customer.name
doc.Bookmarks("reference_UTN").Range.Text = job.UTN
doc.Bookmarks("test_type").Range.Text = job.get_type_display()
This works fine, but there are several fields (An appendix for
example) which may have text that needs to be formatted. The tl;dr of
it is that I need to parse the HTML and format the text using a Range
object accordingly.
I whipped up this function: http://pastebin.com/kaZz5dBd which should
work, but line 22 and 23 doesn't work for some reason - all text after
it is bold.
Anyone have any ideas?
