Some of them are meant to be set on the container (parent element, known as “flex container”) whereas the others are meant to be set on the children (known as “flex items”). In the end I wiggled there slowly but (simply in my humble opinion) duplicating a few paragraphs of text in a (template) document shouldn't be that difficult and I did have to cut through acres of irrelevant chaff to get there.Since flexbox is a whole module and not a single property, it involves a lot of things including its whole set of properties. I guess I am at a difficult stage, specific requirements in the use of Word which are not easy and intuitive and being a yacht surveyor rather than a programmer I run out of vocabulary quickly.
WORD RICH TEXT CONTENT CONTROL UNBOLD CODE
Via another source ( Repeat Text in MS Word by Mapping Content Controls with the XML Pane - YouTube), which lead to a small amount of code (Below) on Mr Maxey's site ( Content Control Enhancements In Word 2013) I created a text file and imported it via the XML mapping pane and added a rich text content control to my document which then can be copied and pasted. The various add ins are (I assume) fine but I didn't want to weigh the system down when there was one simple task I was after so.ĥ. Once you start looking at content controls and inserting them via the developer menu none of the options offered except rich text content control are useful and they are what nearly all the tutorials teach you about.Ĥ. Because of this there is no point in looking at quick part document properties which is where you will be taken as soon as you google content controls.ģ. To repeat a number of paragraphs of text requires the use of a mapped rich text content control.Ģ. Many thanks for your help, sweeping up your thoughts and links and some web research I have managed to reach my destination.įor those that come after and hoping I manage to use the right words (right order would I suppose be good too) I summarise:ġ. However I slice the CC formatting or paragraph formatting I cannot get it to justify correctly, ie I can justify right, left but not 'justified'. However, there is still the justification issue. I think a built in plain text content control will be fine for my purposes. I am understanding and making progress with this and have followed and tried the links and advice you have suggested (obviously not absolutely as I still have an issue.) You can use a utility that will do this for you.Īs for the justification, that likely depends on the paragraph setting in which the control is found. Repeating Data Using Document Properties Content Controls and Other Mapped Content Controlsįor Rich Text, you would need to map it yourself. If it is a plain text control, you could use one of the built-in document property content controls. To duplicate what you type, the simplest method is a mapped content control. PS, one other issue to follow but will get to the bottom of this one first (I hope) Your forbearance and help would be appreciated! Many other tings tried in desperation but I think that is the main ones. Insert text content control box cut and paste special 'link' This works but gives rise to warnings every time the document is opened about copying from a different document and does not work when saved in a template. Insert text content control box, cut and paste, results variable but not consistent. If I do this it justifies the text 'justified' and spreads lines across whole page, even if paragraph only one word. Insert quick part, copy and paste- No problem but cannot enter more than one paragraph without selecting allow carriage returns.
I would like the conclusion/ executive summary which is a half dozen paragraphs to repeat in a second place in the document without having to cut and paste. I now have things set up in word 2016 with half a dozen. Lots of journeys setting up my report templates, documented on this site. I may be a bit stupid and missing the point but please help stop a guy chewing the desk in frustration.
