MailMerge custom formating

[Larry Kloepping]

You can define a merge field like this {MERGEFIELD ReportDate \@ M/d/yyyy} this would then format the Report date something like this January 1, 2011. I'd like to create a "custom" format that I process in code. Is there anyway in the MergeEvent to get that "extra" information on the merge field? Meaning I want to get the "\@ M/d/yyyy".

The reason for the custom formatting is that i want to suport just displaying the first character in a merge field. The obvious example is i have a name with a first, middle and last but I want to only show the middle initial in my merge document. Thoughts?

Hi Larry,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

Essential DocIO preserves the formatting information of fields in FieldCode property. This FieldCode property is internal property. There is no explicit access to this FieldCode property. We need to analyze more cases to make this property as public.
