Is the text in a form field?  If so, you have to set the field to allow Rich Text Formatting in the options tab and then create an object for all the different blocks of text.

Yes it is , the text populates in "Calc_Text".  I understand emabling RT Formating but im not quite following what you mean by "create an object for the text "

I am trtying to configure this form so that if the fields are empty then the letter will be completelt blank . 

Plus i was hoping that the use of a button in someway would help to refresh the populated information if something needed to be changed . 


Change r.value to this.getField("Calc_Text").value in the button script.  Are you trying to make the field empty if any of the input fields have not been filled.  If so you would have to test the value of each input field and only fill the field if all of the input fields have values.
