Posted on by Glaga

Hello,

I work in recruitment, and I want to automatically publish a job description based on the information entered on Powerapps (and saved on List Sharepoint).

I was able to test on Power Automate the "Populate a Microsoft Word template" function, but it only works with plain text.

I want my template to be completed with enriched text (Bold, color, Size, etc.).

I'm not sure how to do it ...

I plan to do the following Flow:
1. Entering Text, in a Rich Text field
2. Transciption in an HTML Text control => How to obtain the HTML transcription of a rich text field?
3. Create HTML
4. Create a word

Thanks for your help !

Hi @Glaga

I think you would get more responses if you posted this in the Power Automate forum.

Bit late but better later than never.

You can format the text in word and set it to plain text input. It will just follow the formatting in word.

Rice Text isn't supported as noted here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/wordonlinebusiness/#known-issues-and-limitations

Hello Glaga,

I do not understand your problem entirely.
I can tell that FrendSoft RichTextEdi could fulfill perfectly what you need, does accept rich text and saves as html and rich text. Can also hyperlinks and many extras. as FREEWARE. The new version what should appear in the following 2 weeks can much more and is bigfixed. The Full version coming next year can save in docx and doc formats too.
But honestly, the Office Word word processing tool can do that too and very good. And while we are on a Microsoft site, I do not understand your questions. Do you need an online tool doing that? This is not fulfilled by RichTextEdi.
FrendSoft RichTextEdi saves in extra compressed format richtext and can do almost what a complete word processing tool like Microsoft word can and is completely for FREE. But it is not a concurrency to Microsoft word and brings just alternative styles and usage possibilities to a good level of word processing. And RichText Formats are universal and can be exchanged between almost all word processing softwares and operating system platforms.
You can read on www.frendsoft.com more about RichTextEdi, why it is useful and that patallel or alternative to Microsoft Word but not claims equal and same aspects or word processing level. That as Full and as FREEWARE version. The FREEWARE version brings the advantage to have a good word processing tool for free.
Best Regards
