Am I misunderstanding, in that the htmlText would maintain text styles across those actions?

At the moment, making my forms, I am pasting text from the official pdfs I have to create into label fields and then clearing that information. I have a maintenance routine that sets the fontSize of these fields to the fntSiz of those fields when set. Once again, though, I"m losing formatting on copy paste, possibly because the text had kept some of its formatting. I'm toying with modifying that loop so that it looks to see if the formattedText of a field has a font, and if so, setting the fntNam and fntSiz of the field to the values of the text, and then clearing the text (and possibly substituting/manipulating for certain fonts). The loop would then set the textSize and textFont of any label field having these attributes to fntNam and fntSiz. Does this make sense? will it work? -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
