PagedText webpart

Hi,

I have a rather strange problem with a “PagedText” webpart that isn’t paging.

I’ve created an “Simple article” document and applied a template which contains PagedText webpart. I’ve set the “Text field name” property to “ArticleText” and the Page size to 50 characters. When I view the page however all of the text in the document is being displayed without any paging? This seems like such a simple problem, but I just can’t get it to work.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to where to look?

Thanks in advance.

RE:PagedText webpart

Hi,

Page size (characters) property might be confusing. It is just approximately number of characters in sentences which should be taken from the whole text. Sentences have to be ended with dots.

Here are simple examples:

Example 1:
Page size (characters): 2
ArticleText: Some Text
Result: Some Text
------------------------
Page size (characters): 2
ArticleText: Some. Text.
Result:
1-page: Some.
2-page: Text.

If some text is wrapped with tags (<p>Some Text.</p>) and Page size (characters) property is set to let’s say 1 it will display whole tag section anyway, since this is assumed to be section:

Some Text.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Miroslav Remias.
