Hi Malte, in a very short test on a Mac exporting rtfText of a field into a file tabs were seen by TextEdit, but not by Word 2008 for Mac, they were displayed as underscores. When exporting the same 2 line 6 word text from TextEdit as formatted text Word could read it. The only difference I found was that LiveCode uses \'09 for tabs and TextEdit used an acutal tab. Replacing \'09 with tab in rtfText resulted in a Word-readable file
content of field 1: apple pears oranges one two three ------------- on mouseUp put the rtfText of field 1 into tData replace "\'09" with tab in tData put specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/" & "rtfTest.rtf" into tPath put tData into url ("file:" & tPath) end mouseUp --------------- I am not claiming this solves all problems but for this very simple example it worked.
