I remember reading some where here that you can add html to dynamic text box but you have to have the right code to do this.

Does anyone kow this code?

Thanks,

no code, just check the corresponding checkbox in the text panel, and only a few tags like links ond font work!

So if the html box is checked will hyperlinks work? how about tables, and background images and stuff?

I guess I should just try it out, thanks Eyez!

anything from before 1989, I believe… which is REALLY limited

one thing to note about the links. They will not standardly be a different color than the rest of the text. If you want them to stand out, you much change the color for each link, and then change it back again after the link.

It’s a royal pain in the butt. I’m hoping they do better in 6.0
