Sjoerd:
Could you use RTF and print in Word?
Hugh has an RTF exporter from Metacard (or Revolution?).
In HyperCard I did this by setting up a template Word document,
saving as RTF, copying the RTF header and column heads into a hidden
field and then using that when I exported the document. I still use
that form once a month.
This was a tabular table. I think you wanted continuous text. I don't
know if the same principle would work, but I think it would.
