How Do I Convert a Rich Text to Plain Text

[Thomas J Coon]

I have a a bunch of documents that have a rich text field in them. I need to
change the field to a text value. I have changed the field on the form but I
am not sure how to go about updating all of the documents.

Create an agent that works on all docs in DB, and use:
@Command([ToolsRefreshAllDocs])

You could write an Agent using LotusScript to get the textual value of
the RTF and put it in a new field. Here's a quick code example of
"GetFormattedText" from the Help:

Set rtitem = doc.GetFirstItem( "Body" )
If ( rtitem.Type = RICHTEXT ) Then
plainText = rtitem.GetFormattedText( True, 15 )
End If
