Lotus Notes get value from rich text to a text field

I'm following this guide (look under "Views" section): http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/Working_with_IBM_Lotus_Notes_rich_text_fields

But I can't get/retrieve the value in my view. I created a new column, added the variable "HiddenUserField" and tried to use @Abstract as described in the guide. Also I tried @Text, but no luck.

You have to create this hidden field in your form, not in view. Use the formula

@Abstract([TextOnly]; 1000; ""; "ProposedRes")

After you added it to your form you have to recalculate all documents so that this hidden field gets filled. As an alternative you could write an agent which sets the hidden field using @Abstract in all documents.
