I found another solution in removing HTML tags in the data saved in Rich text editor. This is more if an alternative to this solution. Specially for those who doesn't have access to Triggered action. First you would need another field in your table that will store the plain text version of the actual input. Put that field in your Submission form and add a HEADER and FOOTER in your DataPage. Go the the FOOTER of your DataPage and disable the HTML editor in the Advanced tab. Paste the code below in your footer: <script type="text/javascript"> //This will hide the field for the "plain" text var non_formatted_txt = document.querySelector("#InsertRecordFIELDNAME_2"); non_formatted_txt.style.display = "none"; document.addEventListener('BeforeFormSubmit', function(event) { //This will replace all the HTML tags with blank var input = document.querySelector("#InsertRecordFIELDNAME_1").value.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, ""); non_formatted_txt.value = input; }); </script> NOTE: replace FIELDNAME_2 with the actual fieldname of your field for the "plain" text and replace FIELDNAME_1 with the actual field name of the rich text editor field. Sample input : Actual table value: Non formatted value:

If any of you uses RICH text editor for user inputs, you will notice that the actual data in the table contains HTML tags that describes the format used with the input. Ex. Will have the following data in your table: If you want a "clean" version of this text you can create a trigger/task that will remove the HTML tags. You can copy the Trigger below: The "formatted_txt" will be the field that uses the Rich text editor and the non_formatted_txt_trigger will contain the "clean" text version. Rich text editor will convert < and > to their entity name which are &lt; and &gt; and a "Non-breaking space" will be converted to: &nbsp;. The following blocks will replace this entity name to their actual value.

How can I limit the number of words in a text area? I know I can limit the number of characters, but I need to limit the words to 25 or less and display an error message is the user tries to submit a statement that is more than 25.
