Subject:

as described in Update rich text tip. That will refresh the subform formulas.

Inserting a new first paragraph now will not do you any good. The paragraph containing the file attachment is already ruined by the hide formula that was on the form at the time the document was created. Inserting another paragraph before it, doesn't change the fact that the paragraph you want has a hide formula.

It's not the fact that it's the first paragraph that makes it take on the hide formula from the form. It's that it was the first paragraph when the document was created (and in addition, there's probably a space before the rich text field on the form, so that there's already a paragraph started that your first paragraph becomes a continuation of). When you're reading the document in the back end, the form design is irrelevant.

As well as changing the form design, you'll have to fix the existing data to remove hide formulas.

Or, you could detach the file to local disk and attach it to the new document. Front-end file attachments in LotusScript.
