Pass Font In Data

Legacy Poster

Hi,

I just installed the demo and I am looking to see if it is possible to pass the font/formatting in the data.

 

Currently I am using MS-Word and I have variable data where some times the value is bold, or a larger or smaller font. Right now in Word to accommodate this I have several different fields with the different formatting and just pass my data in the different fields as required. This is becoming too unmanageable and I am wondering if BarTender can accommodate this.

I don't see any examples or a way to do this currently.

 

Thanks

Dave

  Hello Dave, 

   

  Formatting in BarTender is handled on an object basis for classic text objects. If you set the object in bold, the entire object will be bold. If you wish to have only certain part of the data in the object in bold, you will need to use an alternate solution. In the version 10.0 of BarTender and above, you can use the "Word Processor" object that will look like a Microsoft Word window letting you input data and format it the way you want to. 

   

  otherwise, you can use a "Markup Language Container" such as an HTML or RTF object in which you can input HTML or RTF code to set the formatting that you wish and BarTender will display it appropriately. 

   

  All these options are available in the "Create>Text" menu item. 

   

  Best regards,

  Hi Adrien,

   

  Thank you for the information, I have managed to get HTML working however the next part of my issue is that I need to but this in a table.

  The width of the table will be fixed however the height will be variable.

  Using the Word Processor I can easily add a table however I can not use the merge fields in the Word Processor to format the HTML data.

  I guess I really could make the table and everything in HTML however I have very limited HTML knowledge.

  Hello Dave, 

   

  We have an example of an HTML table formatting in the "Help" of BarTender (you can access it in the "Help>BarTender Help" menu item): 

   

  Example Using HTML Formatting
  The following example demonstrates the use of HTML inside of a text object.

  <table style="background: AntiqueWhite;" border="1" width="300">

  <tr style="background: DarkBlue; color: White">

  <th> First Name </th>

  <th> Last Name </th>

  <th> City </th>

  <th> State </th>

  </tr>

  <tr>

  <td> Lisa </td>

  <td> Johnson </td>

  <td> Seattle </td>

  <td> WA </td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

  <td> John </td>

  <td> Smith </td>

  <td> Baltimore </td>

  <td> MD </td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

  <td> Sarah </td>

  <td> Donahue </td>

  <td> Dallas </td>

  <td> TX </td>

  </tr>

  </table>

   

  The path of this help topic is: "Creating and modifying template objects>Types of Objects>Text Objects>Markup Language Containers>Using HTML"

   

  Best regards,
