Re: Saving a tab formatted field to a file and retaining its formatting

Hi. I am always missing something. Why is there an issue retaining tabs in a body of ordinary text? I have a table field with "A" & tab & "B" & tab & "C" in it. If I write that text into a file on my desktop and then load it back into the second line of that field: on mouseUp get fld 1

Re: Saving a tab formatted field to a file and retaining its formatting

I don’t think it is the tab character but rather the tab stops that are the problem. Brian On Apr 8, 2019, 9:26 AM -0400, dunbarxx via use-livecode , wrote: > Hi. > > I am always missing something. Why is there an issue retaining tabs in a > body of ordinary text? > > I have a table field with "

Re: Saving a tab formatted field to a file and retaining its formatting

Aha. TabStops. Unless I am missing something, is it that the data in a tabStop formatted field is to be copied somehow, so that if loaded into a brand new field, the tabStops property is also "loaded" into that field? But that is a property of a field, not of text, and I do not think such inform

Re: Saving a tab formatted field to a file and retaining its formatting

Because the tab stops are not part of the data of any formatted text properties. You can test this by creating a table field, setting the tab stops to whatever you want, typing some information, setting the clipBoardData ["rtftext"] to the rtftext of the table field, then pasting into a word do

Re: Saving a tab formatted field to a file and retaining its formatting

Thanks for the reply Paul. Yes, tried that but there are problems. It saves a .rtf file but when you open that in MSWord (OS X or Windows) the tabs are changed to underscores. If you open the file in OS X TextEdit it does have tabs but the position/spacing is not retained. I’ve created a sam
