Re: Exporting coloured text to HTML and RTF from 8.1.4

I think I "beat" you by about half a minute.

Thank you for the advice.

Best, Richmond.

Use the htmltext instead of the (plain) text:

set the htmltext of fld x to the htmltext of fld y

The rtftext would work too, both carry styling and text size info. 
Using plain text is just that, it is text without any style information.
