Hi ernie, Reading this it seems like you are trying to do two different things at the same time. The snippet you pasted looks like Styled Text. But you say you want a "plain text" document. But you also say you want to text to look the same way it does on the screen.
You can't have it both ways, I'm afraid. Plain text means just that - only the text. No formatting or anything. If you want the formatting you want to either look at Rich Text Format (RTF) or think about 4D Write Pro. If you want just the plain text you need to remove the styling before you write it to disk. ST get plain text <https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17R5/4D/17-R5/ST-Get-plain-text.301-4127727.en.html> will help you with that. Text to document is the suggested way to write the file.
