Thanks for your suggestion, Sarah. According to the Transcript Dictionary, "Getting the htmlText property reports a string consisting of the text of the field (or chunk of a field), with any font, size, style, or color properties embedded in the text in the form of the tags listed below." On my first try (before I read the above), I set the font, size, and alignment of the field to the settings I wanted printed. I got NO tags in the htmlText of the field because the properties were not embedded in the text. (In my working version, the field's textFont is symbol, textAlign is right [but the output is printed left aligned], and textSize is 1.) It seems there is no way of embedding a textAlign setting in the text. If worse comes to worse, I can manipulate the left printMargin to center the text on the page; but I'd prefer something more straightforward (that doesn't add a new argument to the command). Also, I can't find anything in the revPrintText documentation that explains what text settings are used to print plain text and how to change these defaults. >In HTML, I think the center tag is now officially frowned upon, but >if you want to try it, I think it needs to be a tag on it's own >rather than an attribute of the P tag. >e.g. <center> all your text </center> I created a simple web page with a field containing three lines of text: line 1 is left justified, line 2 is center justified, and line 3 is right justified. When I view the page in Netscape, the justification is as specified. If I set the htmlText of a Rev field to this text, all lines are left justified. Replacing "<P ALIGN="CENTER"> with <center> did not change the alignment. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company http://www.oenolog.com/who.htm "And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee." from "The Triple Foole" by John Donne (1572-1631) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
