Hi Carl: What Ross recommended to you is insightful and does work. However, are you trying to build an automated process combining all these procedures or selected procedures which you find useful? Is it your intention that a file.txt is an output of some process which is to be accepted as input

Hi Carl, Do you want to be able to edit your output, or are you just wanting to get a PDF file? If it's the latter case, creating a text-only postscript is pretty easy. I have a simple pascal program that takes a text file and outputs postscript in its simplest form. You could probably figure

Ross, Thank you for your help. I'm a little confused, though. Do you mean that XML/HTML is the *only* way to change text options when outputting to an OO file from a program? HTML , with variable-length tags and many deprecated options, is a really messy option for documen

The .htm trick helped a little, but not enough. It didn't work at all when I tried MS Word. However, it destroyed the line-feed character so I had to enter that manually for each line, since I'm forming the lines in the I-O buffer rather than in a variable string, and I can't use
