I am using win32::ole to create a word document from an xml. I have to Format the text with in the footnotes based on the tags. The below code is adding the text with the "i" tags to the Footnote text.

Is there anyway to format the footnote text that is added to the Word doc?

#----------------------------------------
#Insert Footnote Here
$selection->Move(-1);
$selection->Footnotes->Add( $selection->{Range},"1", "This is the <i>F
+irst Footnote</i>");
$selection->Move(1);

The text within the "i" tags (i.e.,. First Footnote) should be in Italics Format in Footnote in word document.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":
