Tom, Thanks for your reply. I thought I could use this as my attempts to print to an Excel file dropped rows and columns, but perhaps both formats (TXT & XLS) suffer from similar problems.
Thank you.

My solution was to use a DOS version of RBase to generate the formatted ascii output that I needed. If you use a version 7 report, be sure to check your output very carefully for clipped and dropped text, and extraneous blank lines, all of which seem to occur at random.
