I have discovered a reasonable workaround for BasicMaker multiline strings. Sub Main Dim lStr$ lStr$ = "" lStr$ = lStr$ & "This is a long block of text that I want to fill " lStr$ = lStr$ & "into a form field. I need to make sure I pay attention " lStr$ = lStr$ ...

My apologies, but that doesn't answer my question. Here's an example of a multiline string: "I am a string that contains carriage returns. As you can see, I also contain more than one paragraph. I also contain special characters like %, \, /, $ and @. Everything from the first double quote to t...

Thank you for responding. Perhaps I was not clear about what I would like to achieve. I would like to store a multi-line string in a variable so it can be programmatically manipulated.

Is it possible to create a variable as a multiline string in TextMaker?

I purchased the full version with the belief that Mail Merge would function on Linux with my existing, voluminous data. This ...

As a followup, I can work around this by simply choosing the record I want from "Print Merge". However, attempting this brought up another problem. For this experiment I'm using an Excel file (.xlsx) with the first row as headers. I'm using a .dotm template with about 65 merge fields. Text...

Hello, I generally do NOT use mail merge to populate more than one document at a time. However, the data I use consists of thousands of records. I ALWAYS want to use one and only one at a time. I have not yet found a shortcut to deselect/unselect all recipients, so I can choose only the one I want. ...
