What method are you using to extract the text

hi @rajneesh94

i have downloaded word package. and used read text file.

When you retrieve text from a Word document into a string variable, the formatting information isnโ€™t directly preserved in the string variable because a plain string variable canโ€™t store formatting information.

You can use copy and paste directly from a formatted Word document to preserve the format.

May i know the use case? What are trying to do?

Hi @Vinayak_Kapse

Use a Word file with HTML tags as the input for the email body which will preserve the formatting in UiPath:

Read Word File:

Utilize the โ€œRead Text Fileโ€ or โ€œRead Word Fileโ€ activity to read the content of your Word file into a variable.

Send Email:

Choose an email activity (e.g., โ€œSend Outlook Mail Messageโ€).
Set the variable containing Word file content as the body of the email.
Ensure the email activity supports HTML formatting, and set the IsBodyHtml property to True.

For ref: How to insert HTML code to UIpath SMTP send mail body

Hope this helps:)

Try updating the UiPath.Word.Activites to latest version because for me the output of Read Text activity preserves the formatting

Hi @rajneesh94

Thanks for replay, it doesnโ€™t work in my machine. my current version is 1.18.1
can you please share your version of word.

It is the same for me. Since youโ€™re using it as a template, you can also go with storing the content in HTML format and use it to as a mail body. It will surely get your desired formatting.
