Rich text manipulation within a table

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I’m building a machine configurator using lotusscript that at some point copies in a pre-formatted table into a doc and appends text depending on the configuration choices. This works fine. Now I want to copy in rich text (need the formatting & pics), but there seems to be a problem trying to insert rich text within a table after the BeginInsert (code snip below). I’ve verified this checking the forum.

Has anyone tried this in version 7? Any alternatives?

Call MachItem.BeginInsert(mtnav)

’ add Description

If (mRow% = 4) And (mColumn% = 2) Then

Call MachItem.AppendText(desc.Values(0)) ’ works

’ Call MachItem.AppendRTItem(desc) ’ does not work

A strategically placed call to Update can often help with this.

Tried that, but did not work. Though, I’m not sure if I placed the Update in the correct position - I tried several places.

The error message I get is “Method is not available” at this line of code:

Call MachItem.AppendRTItem(desc)
