very interesting and I will see what I can use. Is the Tab-size attribute an LC
thing? If so, I don’t find anything about tab size in the dictionary.

There is a tab-size attribute that you can use but it can’t contain more than
one number and it only handles ”number of spaces” for a tab like
tab-size: 6
Will give you 6-spaced tab.
To get the layout in HTML I instead suggest another approach. Replace each tab
with an HTML-element to convert

Thank you, Herman. I’m going to have to study this to see if I can use it. I am
not converting a "simple table field” but rather a simple field with tabStops
(not sure if that makes a difference?). Also, I’m working with rtfText instead
of HTMLText. (Again, not sure if that makes a difference
This is what I am doing, Torre, but it’s not working! What is preserved is the
number of tabs inserted but not the tab spacing. In the output document, I have
to manually adjust the tabs in the tab bar of TextEdit.
Thanks,

Using the htmltext or the rtfText will not work:
They contain the tabs but NOT the tabspacing.
You could try the following, it works for me.
Make a browser widget with the width of your table field = fld 1.

If I understand your question correctly, you would like to export the styled
text to an external document. If this is the case then you could use this:

This is driving me crazy:
I have a styled text field in the IDE called myFld for which I set the TabStops
to 15,250,320
Is there any way to export myFld to URL and retain the Tab spacings 15,250,320 ?
Thanks for your help,
Roger
