REF Field

C

Critter

I have a form where a name (first and last) is entered into a text form
field. I also have inserted a REF field in order to have the same data
placed on a second page. The second page field is a larger, bold font. As
the form is filled out, the data is being filled in but the problem is that
the persons first name is the large font and the last name is a default
smaller font. It seems as if anytime you hit the space bar between the
names, the data after the space is always smaller.

Hi Critter,

You can control the REF field's behaviour via a Charformat switch. To do
this:
.. select the field
.. press Shift-F9 to expose the code
.. format the 'R' in 'REF' with the attributes you want
.. delete the '\* Mergeformat' switch if it's present
.. add '\* Charformat' to the field, so that you've got something like {REF
Name \* Charformat}
.. press F9 to update the field.

Cheers
