What is the best way to import formated text documents from microsoft word or a pdf?

How does one preserve the formating?

Hi Don,

Iimporting from PDF is often impossible. You might be able to export a PDF to RTF.

You can export a from most office software to RTF en set the rtfText of a field to the contents of an RTF file.

Whenever you export to RTF, you will lose a lot of formatting information. Sometimes, HTML might give better results. If you export to HTML, you can set the htmlText property of a field. You will still lose a lot of formatting information when you set the htmlText property.

Best,

Mark
