Rich text

sir,
Many customers continue to demand the ability to enter rich text in form fields (i.e. bold, underline, font, size, color etc). I have seen in one article that it is possible this with Javabeans/Custom Java. Please give some examples in step by step for the implementation of bold, font size change etc. By using OLE, we can print only one page text. Please help me.

Suresh,
actually there is no native widget in Forms that allows you rich text handling. If using a Java Bean in Forms, then this wont work on client/server. The sample available is a bean that does render HTML in Forms, so that rich text defined by HTML tags shows correct. We are aware of this requirement and will keep an eye on it.

Rich text editor (apex 4.0)

using blue gray theme and a page with a rich text editor. Expanding the rich text options displays the text body p below the text area that persists even if you close the rich text options. Anybody know how to get rid of that behavior?

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)
Success

Converted single line text to multiple and want to have rich text editing in layout

We had a text field in a site that was initially set as single line of text. We needed it to be bigger and also allow formatting. So I added the field into the page layout.
Changing
<SharePointWebControls:TextField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>
to
<SharePointWebControls:NoteField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>
But it doesn't show any rich text editing options and displays the full html tags in the field.
If I open the page in the edit properties screen instead, then the field displays as I want it with the rich text editing options available in the ribbon, and text showing as bolded instead of like this:
<div>This is <strong>the </strong>habitat field.</div>
This is a site using the 2010 Publishing template running in compatibility mode on a 2013 server.
How can I get my page layout to behave the same way as the edit properties screen does?

Hi,
Here are two solutions for your reference:
1. We can use the InputFormTextBox control to achieve it.
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="habitat" RichText="true" RichTextMode="FullHtml" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="20"></SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>

http://blog.mastykarz.nl/rich-text-editor-control-sharepoint-2010/
2. We can use the RichHtmlField control to achieve it.
<PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

Rich Text Box Issue - Expand to show all Text

Hi everyone
I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with the rich text box when viewing a line item (not when editing the item, but viewing the item)
I want my rich text box to expand with the text, which I have changed in the options on InfoPath with the "Expand to show all text" scrolling option. However, in IE, the table row will expand, but the actual rich text box will not and I'll have
a scroll bar there and you cant see all of the text at one time. If I look in Chrome, then it works the way I want and I can see all of the lines of text that were entered into the rich text box.
The only solution for IE to work correctly is to change the Display settings to "Enable enhanced rich text content...". But the big issue with that is now you can no longer highlight the text (the highlight disappears right after highlighting it),
and the users will need to copy text from the text box, so it renders the "enhanced" rich text box useless for us
It's kind of a lose-lose situation that I'd love to find the solution for

I guess a better solution would be how can you highlight text from an enhanced rich text box, because changing these to "rich text box" gets rid of font colors in the pre-existing data.
The original problem was that they couldn't highlight text unless they went into edit mode

InfoPath 2013 - Rich Text box - Expand to show all text option not working

I have create an InfoPath form and created a view which will be used for printing. I have a rich text box in this print view and the scroll option for this rich text box is set to "Expand to show all text". However, it is not working and it doesn't
expand the size of the text box based on the content length.
same thing used to work in InfoPath 2010.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Neelesh

Hi Wendy,
Here are the steps I have used:
1. On default view added a rich text box.
2. Created another view called Print and mapped it to the same Field which I added to default view
3. Set the Wrap text and Expand to show all text on both the Rich Text Box Properties - in default view and in Print
view. Also set the height of the rich text box to auto.
4. Set the print views as the print view for default view
5. Deployed the form to SharePoint Form Library
6. Opened the form in browser
7. Entered the content in the rich text box in default view. It expands well if I have much content
8. Clicked on Print preview and that opens up the print preview and it shows the rich text box only one line in height and with scroll bar
I missed to mention that it is a web browser enabled form and I am using InfoPath 2013 and SP 2013.
It does work fine in InfoPath client.
Thanks.

Rich Text Editor Options

I am working on a project that needs a Rich-Text Editor with
ability to insert tables, images, and more complex editing features
such as what FCKEditor provides but ideally that was built with
Flex in mind. Is there such an editor available? I have seen a few
options but nothing that really matched the functionality of
FCKEditor for example.
Thanks

Hello,
I was looking for flex version of the FCK Editor,
unfortantly, I could not find a fully complete solution, but I
found the following which might help you:

RIch text forum issue since reinstall of OS

Ever since I reinstalled my system software (10.4.11), I have been unable to utilize rich text editor options available for forum posting. (not this forum - about.com is one of them). In Safari, the editor toolbar is non-existent when posting/editing a post, and my individual paragraphs display as one huge paragraphs rather than individual ones. I'm not having this problem in Firefox. In Firefox, the rich text editor appears (bold, italic, etc. buttons), as do options for "design" and "HTML"—all missing in Safari.
Previous to the reinstall, I was not having this issue in Safari. Paragraphs were created by hitting "return", not inserting html code.
I'm wondering if there is a setting, or plugin, that was present in my old system that did not get installed, which is contributing to why Safari has omitted these options as opposed to Firefox.
Thanks!

No I haven't tried another mouse, but the malfunctions started as soon as OSX 10.6.4 was installed, so I deduced that it was a software rather than a hardware issue. I will however try another mouse.

Rich text output?? Using FormattedTextEdit Element in NW 7.02

So SAP now gives us a cool element that allows users to input text using a limited number of formatting options (bold, italics, header size 1/2/3, Indent, bullet).
We currently use interactive forms to print out several different project forms. However, mgmt really wants to display this rich text on the PDF.
Searching high and low, there apparently is no good way to display formatted text in adobe interactive forms.
We thought about just building the output form as a WDA application - however, this presents other problems such as page breaks.
Does anyone out there know of a way to get formatted text out of SAP onto a PDF/other form output?

Thomas,
Thanks for the reply. We've had success in the past (NW 7.00) with passing those SAPScript text objects to Adobe for formatting.
Is this only available for interfaces define as data dictionary? I don't see the option to create a TEXT node in WDA when my interface is defined as XML-based.
We have become heavily invested in AIF, and it's hard to imagine that something as simple as RTF can't be easily rendered somehow outside SAP. We were hoping that with 7.02, an easier method would be available.

Changing text size in form field (rich text formatting enabled)

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've created an interactive PDF with form fields with "Rich Text Formatting" enabled.
My client has filled in the fields and would like to make the text bigger. When right-click, there are only options to change the text style (bold, italics etc) but nothing to change the text size. I'm not keen on disabling and then re-enabling the "Rich Text Formatting" options as the text have been formatted (bold, italics, superscript, subscript etc) and approved, and this will remove all the existing formatting.
Can anyone help?

Mac 10.6.8
Cheers,
Tricia

Thanks so much!! Really appreciated!
Strangely enough, I found the Form Field Text Properties dialogue box by randomly choosing "Hyperlink" in the right-click options. Who would have thought!

Different rich text/plain text settings for different accounts?

I use Mail for both my work email (MS Exchange) and my personal email (webmail/IMAP). Many of my coworkers use Outlook's rich text formatting options, so I need to have my work emails go out as rich text. However I'd like to have my personal emails go out as plain text.
I can set Mail to create new messages in plain text, but to reply in the same format of the original message. That takes care of everything EXCEPT when I compose a new message using my work address... in that case it goes out as plain text, and my coworkers complain that they can't use formatting, because their copies of Outlook are in turn configured to reply in the same format as the original message.
So ideally what I'd like is to have two different formatting settings for my two different accounts. Anyone know how this might be done? Any plugins, etc., that might accomplish this?

Since you are running Jaguar, Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing in HTML and this includes when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML.
Since Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing or forwarding HTML, you can't embed images or photos in the message body anyway.
RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML and although Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor, you can copy/paste HTML format from a web page and forward HTML received.
Images/photos and single page PDF attachments are revealed as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This applies to received and sent messages which is not the same as being embedded. Embedded requires HTML and an embedded attachment is not a true attachment. All Mail.app versions render HTML received but you cannot attach a photo or image as embedded with Jaguar or Panther Mail so it doesn't matter if you use RTF or Plain Text in regards to photo/image or single page PDF attachments which appear as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless.
When you use Plain Text for message composition, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses.
IMO, everyone should use Plain Text for message composition. Messages would be boring to some but the majority if not all problems experienced with email would be eliminated if HTML was banned from message composition.

Export rich text from Adobe Form to MS Word or MS Excel

Hi,
I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It consists of some text fields, where formatting of the text is important. I have chosen allow rich text formatting in the textfield and that works fine. Export to Excel via .csv works fine, but formatting is of course lost.
I will receive many forms back, and would like to automate as much of the process as possible. My question is if there is any way to do a batch export of a certain text field including the formatting to either MS word or Excel?
An alternative might be to export only the specific text field from all collected forms to a one PDF File and copy paste this into word.
If I can get this to work, everything should work as planned.
Sorry if this has been asked before. Have done numerous searches, so far without result.
Best regards,
mlang1111

Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites.

Can I display rich text in a textfield?

I've created a form in LiveCycle Designer and there is a text field that is retrieving data from a table. The data in this field is entered from a ColdFusion form and its using the Rich Text Editor in the form. Because of this, the data that is displaying in the text field of the pdf looks like this:
<p>This is a comment.</p>
Is there any way for the text field to show the data with the proper formatting? I've gone in to the field tab of the object and selected Rich Text for the Field Format but it doesn't help.

Ok, I've added a new field which has a bind name called FieldA.
I click on the ConditionFound field and open the script editor. I choose calculate and enter the following:
ConditionFound.value.exData.loadXML(FieldA.rawValue,1,1);
I save the form.
When I open the pdf from the link on my app, the FieldA field displays: <p>This is a test entry.</p> which it gets from the database.
The ConditionFound field is still blank.

Using a different Rich Text Editor ?

Hi,
I'd like to know if you're using a different Rich Text Editor other than the one provided by Oracle ?
Are you satisfied with it ? Especially in the management of images ?
Thanks
Max.

there is a textflow component
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/07/25/exporting-a-textflow-object-in-flex-4/
still exports to font tags unfortunately, but its closer than the richtexteditor. Its basically at the point where you could even write your own small parser and adapt the output to the format you desire.

Is there a way to have the description field in a calendar list item to support enhanced rich text?

We have a user who has a few hundred calendar items created in outlook. If you open the calendar item, the description includes tables with borders, shading, etc. It seems that the description field in Sharepoint calendars only support basic rich text,
so if I copy the items from the user's calendar to the sharepoint calendar, the formatting is lost. Is there any way to create a custom calendar with enhanced rich text for the description field?

This is a workaround that is working for us. I created a new column "Event Description", selected "Plain Text" and then created a basic workflow that updated Description from Event Description. #160 is no longer showing.
Please be aware that the trick to this is that you must write everything in a string. In other words, don't use the Enter key.
In my case it was worth it as we couldn't rebuild and the user needed a valid and quick fix.
