Rich Text Content Control being copied in protected mode

Dear Experts,

 

In my scenario, I have created an input form with a number of Rich Text Content Controls and the form has been protected for form filling.

 

Why I found unexpected is, in protected mode, if I copy all text in one content control and paste it to the other, not only the selected text, but also the content control is being pasted inside the target control.

 

This is serious in my scenario since the form has already been spread to whole company employees for form filling, and the data are expected to be consolidated by a consoldiation prgram, reading all input fields automatically and generate one output file. I have tested this scenario, for the field "txtEEPassportNo1", the program will wronly read the data as "60004 Passport 2" instead of "60004 Passport 1".

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Steven

... but seems same issue can be repeated.


Exactly, because that is how rich text controls work if you select and copy the entire range.  But do you really need rich text controls?  Can you not use plain text controls instead.
