Hadrian Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Are there any plans to extend the functionality of the rich text editor to allow the user to select font and font size?
Alex Marshall Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Hadrian, Could you provide more details, i.e. Mac or PC? Are you referring to the "Variable Text Editor" ? We do not have a "Rich Text Editor" in our program.
Hadrian Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 I attached a screen capture of it....applies to versioned or variable templates.

Hadrian Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 Alex, there is no issue. Merely a feature question.
FreightTrain Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Hadrian, Unfortunately, due to restrictions of RTE, it is not possible to show the actual font selected or to change the size in the RTE window, so you would still need to refresh your proof to see the reflected font and size on the proof. To accommodate this enhancement we would need to completely change out the RTE and that is not currently on the road map. Sorry
Hadrian Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 Thank you sir. That's the news I needed.

To accommodate this enhancement we would need to completely change out the RTE and that is not currently on the road map. Sorry That is unfortunate, but makes sense as far as what could be displayed in the RTE. But what about color? Is there a way to tie in the colors attached to the template, and be able to select from those in the RTE? This would solve many issues about the clunkiness of having to select a color for an entire field, and allow the user to select sections of text within the RTE to emphasize with color, not just bold, italic, or underlined. I know we could write some JavaScript to make any bolded, italicized, or underlined text a color as well, but that doesn't work if the user doesn't want all of their bolded, italicized, or underlined text to be the same color. What are your thoughts about this?
