YOW14 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hello, I hope I am in the correct forum. I would like to create a scenario where I have two identical text boxes and where entering text in one automatically populates the other text box. I am building a duplicate spread where the some information is repeated on the second page - so, instead of copy pasting or re-entering I would like for the info to 'autodfill' on the second page. It should be noted that this two page spread is in one single layout tab. Thanks in advance for any guidance or advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Use a Field in the Second Text Box. Insert Field>Object>Select the first text box>Contents Regen all will update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOW14 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks for the quick response! It seems when I do this that the second text box includes the formatting, for example: original text: · Room 29 - Generator - adjacent. Autofill text: \pxi-3,l3,t3;{\fSymbol|b0|i0|c2|p18;· }Room 29 - Generator - adjacent. Similarly if I use a fraction to show a superscript, is there a way around this?

SLW210 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Can you post an example drawing? I don't see that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOW14 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hello, Here is an example drawing. Creating additional Text Styles with desired formatting (bold, italicized, etc.) seemed to prevent the formatted info from being copied. This was also the case when I used an inserted Symbol for superscripts (squared) vs using the Autostack Properties.

SLW210 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Search for the latest version of a LISP called StripMText.lsp by Steve Doman, I am not sure what the latest version might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
