HTMLtext problem

[Lynch, Jonathan]

If the text is inheriting its textfont, textstyle, textsize, etc... from
an object higher up in the message path, then that information would not
be kept in the htmltext.

You can do something like this:
Put the effective textstyle of char 5 of field "myField" into
tMyVariable

Subject: HTMLtext problem

I need to get an accurate record of the text styles within a field  
but htmlText doesn't seem to report everything.

If "This is a test" is entered into a field without any changes, I  
get...

                 <p>this is a test</p>

Font, size, style and color information is not reported.


It seems that I have to change the font, size, color and style of  
some selected text within the field to something other than the  
default settings to get the additional style information. For  
example, once I've made these changes, the following now gets reported:

         <p><font face="Arial Black" size="14"  
color="#FF0000"><u>this is a test</u></font></p>

Is there a simpler way to get this to happen?

Thanks!
Charles
