Hello,

I have a question which I pretty much posted in the title, but I'm having problems creating a text box which also includes a field for entry so the text which is to be read can expand.

If anyone can enlighten me, that would be lovely!

Thanks

Have you tried "Floating Fields" on "insert" menu?

I spoke with Adobe, come to find out they said what I was trying to do does not exactly exist in the manner I'd like. I had to either use a table format or make two text boxes with a text field in between and place them in a subform.

You are trying to do exactly what I am trying to do. Make a Designer form work like a word file (with fillable fields inside a block of text). I tried it with the Floating fields, and it failed. That will not work. I am trying to tap into other resources to try to solve this problem. I will let you know what I find out.

I did it like this

I had two subforms, one called 'prepare' with some ordinary textfields, and one subform called 'perform' with static text and some floating fields. e.g "Hello {ff_Name}! how are you"


On prepare subform i have this code in exit event
perform.ff_Name.rawValue = this.rawValue;
and a button vid click event
perform.presence = "visible";
prepare.presence = "hidden";


So the text from textfield will be copied into floating field
