word rich text content control dependent

Make you think the data type (mark up) is compatible, it most emphatically is not. It has nothing to do with the rich text file format - RTF - which is usually used in form/web controls. Tried this: ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle('txtShowNotes').Item(1).Range.CopyĪctiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle('txtCombinedContentSection').Item(1).Range.Pasteīut this copies the whole RTF and not just the text.Please note that 'Rich text' used in the name of Word's content control only refers to its ability to accept formatting commands. Here's how I'm getting the value of the text object: ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle('txtShowNotes').Item(1).Range.Text

I wouldn't think this would be rocket science.īeing none of the code I've tried works and keeps the formatting I'm not sure if posting it here will do any good. I've tried creating a blank RTF field at the bottom of the Word doc to combine everything in but I just can't figure it out. It pastes the whole rich text content control. However, this doesn't paste just the formatted text. The only way I seem to be able to keep the formatting is if I copy the range object and then paste it. The problem is that whenever I try to combine the RTF content it loses the formatting. So basically, I want to take three rich text content controls that have formatted data in them, combine them together into one formatted piece of content, and then copy it to the clipboard so they can then go to this web form, paste it in, and do some minor cleanup. Once they get all the content entered into these various content controls I'm trying to make it easy for them to combine them together to paste in a consistent order into some podcast show notes which is in an HTML form. This word doc consists of several rich text content controls where the user will type in or paste in some formatted data (bold, underlined, links. I'm trying to create a form for a non-technical user in MS Word to capture some text content in MS Word.
