Getting rid of square characters on new lines 1

[Luongo1]

Hi,

I posted this in another forum but then thought it would be more relevant to this board. I apologize if you've seen it elsewhere.

Basically, I created a form that automatically pops up when a new document is created using a fax coversheet template in Word. It works fine, aside from the fact that on each new line in the message, a square character/symbol is inserted at the beginning of the line. Is there any way to get rid of this? It's been quite frustrating as it's really a big inconvenience to go through and delete them all once the form is submitted. I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'm a newbie and couldn't find the answer elsewhere, so any help would be appreciated...

Hi Gerry, thanks for those tips, I will definitely take them into account for any future projects. Looking forward to your changes...

How flexible are you regarding the space you put aside for the message area? You have it as a single row table.

Hi Gerry, it's very flexible. As long as there's enough space for a paragraph or so and it doesn't push the footer information down it would be great...

OK. I am at a different location from the version I was working on, but I will be able to get at it later today. I will probably be able to get a working version to you by tomorrow. Uh, there will most likely be some serious changes to it.

Hi, I had to go away for a couple of days, and I am just back. It is 5:30 AM for me. I will look at it now, and get back to you later today.

Hi George. I just sent you back a new version of your template. I replaced the formfield you were trying to get your multi-line text into, with a bookmark. The bookmark is in a cell beside the "Message" text. This keeps it separate, and properly lined up.

The bookmark text is filled with a sub that actually replaces the range text, not just insert it. So it can be re-done (via the userform) as many times as you like. It will always REPLACE the bookmark text, not append it.
