Text Field Format in a Custom Form

[Cody Dawg]

I'd like to be able to format a text field so that lines in the field can be
bulleted.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Force Word as the Editor, then use the Word objects and methods to bullet the
text. Basic Office automation.

Since I'm a newbie to forms, how do you force Word as the editor?

Thanks

I'm not sure of the detail, myself. But there is an Editor property
that you set to True. Go to www.slipstick.com and search there for
examples of how to use WordMail.

You do know how to get into the code editor? From there you press F2
to bring up the Object browser. You can then look through all the
objects and methods of the Outlook Object Model and find the properties
and methods you need to use.

This text box is actually in a custom form based on the Outlook Contact
form. I don't see how to do what you suggest. Thanks again for the help.


You can marry a custom form to a WordMail template on the (Properties) page
of the form. Make sure you first set RTF as the default message format
(Tools | Options | Mail Format)

You're absolutely right about that, but I jumped in here late and if you mentioned the type of form earlier, I missed it. So can we go back to the beginning? What is it that you're trying to do?
