I take it your have tried:
put the rtfText of field "X" into URL
("file:"&specialFolderPath("desktop")&slash&"savedfield.rtf")
And then reading it back to a new field with:
set the rtfText of field "Y" to URL
("file:"&specialFolderPath("desktop")&slash&"savedfield.rtf")
and the tab spacing is not preserved?
If the rtfText does nto preserve the tabstops, the htmlText should
preserve the tabstops. See the dictionary entry for the htmlText
property of a field.
If neither the rtfText property of a field, nor the htmlText property of
a field preserve the tabstops (again, not sure about rtfText, but the
Dictionary implies htmlText does), you can use
put the arralEncode(the styledText of field "X") into URL
("binfile:"&specialFolderPath("desktop")&slash&"savedfield.bin")
And then reading it back to a new field with:
put URL
("binfile:"&specialFolderPath("desktop")&slash&"savedfield.bin")into
tFieldData
set the styledText of field "Y" to arrayDecode(tFieldData)
But this later approach does not produce an RTF or HTML file that can be
opened in other software tools like Microsoft Word
