Field MatchSource Option

The field MatchSource option (for RTF, HTML, DOCX or XLSX fields only) specifies what styles to use if there are conflicting styles (styles present in both the inserted document and the template document).

In other words, should the document style match the source (inserted document) or not (the template document).

For example: {Text HTML MatchSource: true}

Note that field and field options are case-insensitive so MatchSource and matchsource are treated the same.

If MatchSource option is false, the template document styles will override the inserted document styles, for all style conflicts.

If MatchSource option is true, the inserted document styles will be renamed (and shown in the document style list) and will not be overridden, for all style conflicts.

The default MatchSource options are (if no MatchSource option is specified), for backwards compatibility -

	MatchSource
Field Type	True	False
RTF
HTML
DOCX
XLSX
