Description
Removes all font sizes in text, or removes the font size specified by sizeToRemove. If
you don’t specify a size, all of the text displays in the default font size that was set in
Layout mode for the field. When the font size is specified by sizeToRemove, only the
specified font size is removed from every portion of the text displayed in that size and
these same portions of the text are then displayed in the field's default font size.
The font size is described in points (72 points to the inch). Text formatting options will be
lost if the data type that is returned is something other than text.
Examples
TextSizeRemove(“10 Point Text and 18 Point Text”) returns 10 Point Text
and 18 Point Text displayed in the field’s default font size.
TextSizeRemove(“10 Point Text and 18 Point Text”;18) returns 10 Point
Text and 18 Point Text with the 18 point font size removed from the words 18 Point Text.
