Hello again everybody,

I have a new question that you guys maybe could help me with!

Is there a way to change the default font when pasteing into a textfield? Say that have written a text string in word, with font "Times new roman", and want to copy and paste it to a textfield in acobat. The font dosent change to "Garamond" which i have prefrenced in the properties for that textfield, isntead its still "Times new roman".

Is there a way to change this to whatever you paste will have the same font/size as is prefrenced in the properties panel for that textfield!

Kind regards!

Open the "Options" tab on the text field's properties dialog and enable Rich Text.

Can this work with Livecycle and keep the Font as Rich Text? When we copy from Word to a Livecycle form it keeps the font of the Dcument we are pasting from?
