Re: how to write a field on a file keeping the text formatting intact

[Mark Smith]

Ah, I see. I don't think Rev can export directly to Word format, but  
an alternative might be to export as rich text - use the RtfText  
instead of HtmlText - and then I'm pretty sure that Word can read the  
file with formatting intact.

Best,
Mark

André, you need to write the htmlText of the field to the file:



set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/IMPORT"  
-- with file "thisFile.doc" in "IMPORT
open file "ThisFile.doc" for write
write the HTMLText of fld "thisField" to file "suchFile.doc"
close file "suchFile.doc"

Thanks Marc for your immediate answer ;
I tried what you are suggesting but I did not obtain the formatted  
text ; I obtained something like the following :

<p>Un jour sur ses longs pieds</p>
<p>Allait je ne sais o&ugrave;</p>
<p><i>Le h&eacute;ron au long bec</i></p>
<p>Emmanch&eacute; d'un long cou</p>
<p></p>
<p>&#9;Il c&ocirc;toyait une rivi&egrave;re</p>
<p>&#9;<u>L'onde &eacute;tait transparente</u></p>
<p>&#9;Ainsi qu'au plus beau jour</p>
<p>&#9;Ma comm&egrave;re la carpe</p>
<p>&#9;Y FAISAIT MILLE TOURS</p>
<p><font color="#FF0000">Avec le brochet son comp&egrave;re</font></p>

What I would like is to obtain the formatted text (not the html  
translation)

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot

Best regards
André
