Fomating for mergefields not orking properly

raviteja · February 23, 2023, 9:43am

Hi,

I ahve a case where a merge field is playes with formating.
I mean, his is the case

So, when the mergefield gives multiple lines, it should look like
test1
test2
test3

So, it is ok. But when the returning value for the merge field is also with a format i mean here test3 is being coming as test3.
Then what i am geeting is

test1
test2

test3.

So the preformat is not being applied, if we do have some formating in the mergefield. What should i do?.

Thanks,
Ravi

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. I think that you should do this using regions. For example see attached template and the following code.

// Create datasourse
DataTable table = new DataTable("table");
table.Columns.Add("field1");
for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < 10; rowIndex++)
{
    DataRow row = table.NewRow();
    row[0] = "test";
    table.Rows.Add(row);
}
// Open template
Document doc = new Document(@"457_109237_raviteja\in.doc");
// Execute mail merge
doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(table);
// Save document
doc.Save(@"457_109237_raviteja\out.doc");

I hope that this will help you.
Best regards.
