David, My recollection is that you will get best results saving as an rtf vs Word (remembering that 4DWrite (not Pro), is a rather old plugin, that hasn't been updated for quite some time)

I haven't used 4DWrite in a while, but see in the documentation for WR SAVE DOCUMENT one can save a 4DWrite document as an rtf file. there is also this note: "Compatibility note: To retain compatibility with previous versions, the DOC8 (Word 8 Document) type is also supported." Is anyone saving 4DWrite docs as Word docs, and if so, are there any issues? Is the formatting in 4DWrite docs faithfully reproduced in the resulting Word docs? Does the above compatibility note suggest that support for Word may not be found in future 4DWrite versions? Are there other ways to generate a Word doc from 4D? The documents I need to generate will be parallel to a 4D "Detail form for printing" containing multiple records on each page, and flowing to multiple pages when there are more records than can fit on one page.
