Humpf; I will try to fool everybody that my slowness there was
the result of coping with kids in a classroom setting: but, of
course that is not true - entirely my own fault.
Thanks for your pointer:
just checked RTF in the Documentation and found this:
"put the RTFText of field "Destination" into URL myURL"
which looks rather exciting . . .
Set up a stack with a field containing suitably garish text
(orange, right aligned, size 48, disgusting font)
and popped this in a button:
on mouseUp
put the RTFtext of fld "FFF" into URL "file: FancyText.rtf"
end mouseUp
NBG!
Tried this:
on mouseUp
put the htmlText of fld "FFF" into URL "file: FancyText.html"
end mouseUp
because of this near the bottom of the Documentation bit about RTF:
"To export and re-import field information without losing any style
information, use the htmlText property instead."
NBG!
This all on the trusty G4 war-horse. :)
Decided not to contribute a slightly offensive note to the
User-contributed notes in the Documentation
until I can manage to export the flipping text the way it should be
exported.

Richmond,
Export the rtfText property to an RTF file. Even though it is buggy,
it preserves most of the olours and styles.

My kids are making word-processors with revMedia 4 right now,

Humpf: write to file works with Linux but doesn't seem to work
on Mac, so having to put fld "XXX" into URL "file: MyCrap.txt"
However the kids are, understandably, rather disappointed
having produced PINK, ITALIC, GIANT, RIGHT ALIGNED text, to
find that all that gets exported is bog-standard text and all
the formatting is gone for a Burton.
Please can someone point me in the right direction to export
styled text?
