form field population

[Hilary Ratner]

To continue with my earlier issue which Suzanne solved for
me, I have yet another problem.

The data source that will be populating the form fields
has carriage returns. Therefore, when the fields are
populated, only the first paragraph from the data source
makes it into the field. Is there a way for it to
recognize and copy the carriage return and subsequent
paragraphs as well?

TIA

Hilary

Hi Hilary,

How are you populating the formfields?

Hi Doug.

The datasource is coming from the AS400.

Thanks.

The data source is coming from the AS400 via a bookmark
insertion using Visual Basic. (I spoke to the developer.)
Let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks again!

Hi Hilary,

The developer is going to have to get involved in this.

The following code will insert the paragraphs represented by Paragraph1 and
Paragraph2 as separate paragraphs into the bookmark named "test"

Dim mystring As String
mystring = "Paragraph1" & vbCr & "Parapgraph2"
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("test").Range.InsertBefore mystring
