Good morning,
Apparently in 4D V17 a new command WP Get Text was added. I missed that
one since the last time I was messing with this code I was using 4D v16r5. This
command allows you to get a plaintext version of any 4D Writ pro object. I
mention this just for reference to prevent future questions.
