Hi Kim, because you told us in a later post you are using Mac OS X, I can say that your example is incorrect.
Only REALbasic on Windows allows you to Read and Write RTF - that is since the first REALbasic for Windows (compilation). It is an "OS Platform Automatic Service". The code you share works that way on Windows. Back to Mac OS X: the provided code save the styled data in the Mac OS X "official" style format, but do not generate RTF at all. Now for the RTFData - RB 2007-r2 - addition: it have been officially stated that the open is buggy and corrected in 2007r3a. I am not in the Beta, so I cannot tell you more on what was corrected in a3. I only hope that the responsible engineer make intensive debugging (on all three platforms (Mac OS X, Windows and Linux). Why ? Because I found bugs in the way the styles are used (that are there before the RTFData addition). In fact, I will extend my plan (be able to use REALbasic 2007 after r2) only when I will be able to use my project with styles under the three platforms. BTW: I also found bugs in the Windows implementation of RTFData... etc. Sadly, Emile PS: I was not able to get an internet location to use with my PowerBook in the previous five days, and so writing bug reports is actually not possible for me. >Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 18:49:45 +1000 >From: Kim Kohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RTF >To: RealBasic NUG <[email protected]> > >folks, > >I realise there's been some criticism of the new RTF feature in >reading files from other applications.
