Calling data from a text area

[stevebanks]

Hi Guys,

Hope you might be able to help me!

I am calling a few fields from a text area, and creating a formatted Word Doc on the fly... this is all working OK, but, when you put a carriage return in the text area it doesn't appear in Word... Is there a way to put a carriage return in where the user has put one??

Your help is much appreciated!

When you say Word document, do you mean .doc format or .rtf?

The problem seems that Word uses a different combination of line-ending carachters than is delivered. Try to convert the \n in \r\n and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply... I have solved the problem using the nl2br function.

Thanks again
