Display HTML in a WTextFormField in a Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WordDocument

[Chris Woodward]

Hi,

We have some text stored in the database as HTML. This markup includes paragraphs, bullet points etc 

What we would like to do is display this in a .doc so that the text retains its formatting i.e. the HTML is displayed in the .doc as it would appear in a Browser.

I have tried setting the FieldType property of the WTextFormField to "FieldType.FieldHTMLActiveX" but this did not work.

I should mention that we have other MergeFields in the same .doc that are just going to display plain text so we cannot just display the whole thing as html.

Thanks for your help,

Chris.

Hi Chris,

 

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

 

DocIO provides support to perform mail merge only with simple text and image. In order to perform mail merge with Html text, kindly make use of MergeFieldEventHandler to replace merged value (Html text) of a merge field with its equivalent formatted content using InsertHTML method. We have prepared a sample to illustrate the same. Please do find the sample from below link and let us know if this helps you.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
