// Get field values

var Chaparral = getField('Chaparral').value;

// Build full_name string

var full_name = "I have put together this outline proposal for " + Chaparral + " and DeVries International, based on previous working knowledge of " + Chaparral + ". As such it is purely a draft proposal designed to show how Clear Commercial Solutions could assist " + Chaparral + " in gaining increased market share and appointing new dealerships globally, to support network growth, brand awareness, global sales and revenues.";

// Set this field's value equal to full_name

event.value = full_name;

It's only possible if you set the field as having Rich Text Formatting.

hi, already done so can u pls explain it little more ??

Did you allow rich text formatting in the properties of the text field?

[omanbux]

hi, yes...

[Bernd Alheit]

What happens when you type ctrl+e ?

hi, its working but if i change "Chaparral" field value, that setting automatically removing & generate new paragraph with 1 line space..

Yes, that's how it works. You can't define it as the default setting, I'm afraid.

hi, actually i'm trying make read only auto updating multiline text field that should match with document other paragraphs. in my PDF form other text paragraphs line space is 1.5. so after generating new paragraph, is that possible to do manual Ctrl+e line changing work automatically using javascript ??

Ctrl+E is an interactive feature. You cannot directly talk to properties.

However, you CAN set a rich text field to rich text including fonts and line spacing. These are not defaults for people typing in the field, but if it's a read-only field the layout will stick. (At least in Adobe software; I'd expect very poor support in browsers, mobiles, email apps etc.)

There are a whole set of rather complex and detailed JavaScript methods for dealing with rich text. Please see the JavaScript API for information on field richValue and the Spans object.
