    infopath rich text field

     

    hi, how to use infopath 2007 + wss 3.0 to have information from infopath rich text field in sharepoint form library column with formatting like bullet list or numering list? When I send data from form to form library all rich text field in appriopriate sharepoint column as a result I have plain text without formatting. Finally when i want export data from this library to xls file to create report I still don't have formatting which is necessary for my users. Do you know how to avoid this troubles?

    Hi Romek and welcome to the InfoPath Dev forums.

    Unfortunatley rich text from InfoPath won't show as Rich Text in SharePoint, it is a limitation of SharePoint/InfoPath.  There is also a limitation with the size of the column in SharePoint, by default the maximum amount of data from your InfoPath form is only 255 charachters.  There is a hack (editing the manifest.xsf file) to get around this but it does not fix the issue with the bold, bulleted etc getting from InfoPath to SharePoint.
