JOHN,
THE TEXT IS A BOOKING LETTER WE USE FOR OUR BUSING BUSINESS. IT IS
IN RTF FORMAT. I WOULD LIKE TO IMPORT OR PASTE IT IN AND THEN ADD
SOME FIELDS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AFTER THE TEXT.
David,
Did you know that you can use the "Rich Text" control to import the
entire rtf file and "Edit" the contents, including the option to use
"Mail Merge" to place column "field" or "variable".
Here's how:
01. While in Reports Designer, place a "Rich Text" object on [Detail]
band. Right-Click | Speed Menu | Click on "Mail Merge" and then
click on "Edit" to open Rich Text Editor.
02. Rich Text Editor | File | Open | select the appropriate RTF file
and click on "Open" button to import the rtf file.
You may also use the "paste" option if you have already copied
the text in windows clipboard.
There you have it.
For complete details, take a look at the "CustomFormLetter" report
included with Running R:BASE Your Way! (Part 14) to demonstrate
the use of Rich Text Control and Mail Merge.
A technical document with sample application is also available at:
