Replace value of a mapped field in word
Hi all, I have a use case, where there is a mapped field in word. This document is being used as a template document in another system. But I want to replace all commas in the field value with ^p or ...
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP Hi Doug, thanks for your reply.. we are passing it as a field value from MFiles system. This document is being used as template document in our MFiles system
Nimmyraj If you mean M-Files as at https://www.m-files.com, I would suggest that you contact the customer support at https://www.m-files.com/about/contact/
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP Hi Doug, we have been checking from there too, but nothing positive yet.. so was checking if word has any option of replacing the character
Nimmyraj Your "passing it as a field value" does not really answer the question that I asked, which was:
"How are the field values being "passed" to the template?"
In other words, what is the passing mechanism?
- Sorry, if I was not clear. we have MFiles document management system which has a feature of using word document as an input template. So have created a word document as a template document that accepts values as fields from the MFiles system. So the values are passed to the word from MFiles system and the field values are updated in the word document and the word document is saved back to the MFiles document management system. Hope it’s clear.
