How to insert RTF field to Crystal Report?

2072 Views

I want to add to report a field containing special RTF character (like insert a bullet using '\bullet' RTF tag or current date using '\chdate' RTF tag). I tried several ways with '\bullet' (that marked as fully supported by Crystal) but anyway I get the field just containing \bullet text in both Crystal Report and exported RTF document. Please see below that I do and indicate what I do wrong:

  1. In CR designer, I create a formula field with '\bullet' content
  2. Drag this field to report
  3. Right Click on field -> Format Field -> Paragraph tab -> Text Interpretation -> set "RTF text"; Common tab -> check "Can Grow"
  4. OK to save field and save report RPT.
  5. Run my CR for VS application and show report: \bullet text appear in the field instead of bullet
  6. Export report to RTF or Editable RTF: \bullet text appear in the field instead of bullet as well

What is wrong? Thank you!
