So, when you are creating an interactive project or whatever you are saying that most people have been content to just start from scratch with the text formatting?
I mean what do you have but Graphics, Movies, Sound and TEXT for importing into REV.
Graphic, Movies and Sound have importing capabilities.
Why not text? And why has that not been a high priority for most people?
I just feel like I missing something if no one else sees this as a little bit important to an applications fundamental abilities, that's all. I don't think it should matter how big or small a company is but rather what they do and how they do it that matters.
Ah, what do I know anyway. Tom
Tom - perhaps if you set some simple guidelines for the content writers so that they are able to produce documents in a form that are immediately readable by Rev. Rev will import rtf and html files with a reasonable amount of formatting intact. If on top of this you were to import tables saved separately from the body of your documents as tab-delimited files then you might be well on your way.
If however you have no control over the form in which documents are delivered to you then you may have to edit them (a little or a lot) before they are in a fit shape to be imported by Rev. This 'problem' isn't peculiar to Rev by the way. Try opening a Word document in PowerPoint and see what happens - I can guarantee you'll be 'amazed' with the results!
Cheers,
Terry...

Probably because it hasn't been a high priority on anybody's list.
That's not a lot to ask for. Is it?
I'm not an employee but I'm guessing it probably is a lot to ask for a company that is not the size of Adobe, Microsoft, Quark or Macromedia. You can always add a feature request to BugZilla/RevZilla. Scott Rossi
