Hi,

I’m trying to solve this one for some time, but im bot getting anywhere.

I have Input Box named lets say “input”. I have a button also.  
So, when i click button, i want to do something with my input.  
Problem is that AS my input send to other variable in this format:\*  
“\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Verdana” SIZE=“13” COLOR=”#0066FF" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>typed text\</FONT\>\</P\> \</TEXTFORMAT\>"\*

Any ideas?

Uncheck both the “render text as HTML” and the “Auto Kern” options in the text properties window.
