I suspect all this OS X stuff I'm doing is useless because you seem to be more concerned about Wordpad but I thought I'd add this data point.

If I format the text in the field and then save it in an RTF file, Word recognizes the styling, it shows up in the raw RTF in BBEdit, but Apple's TextEdit, which is the default RTF reader in OS X) ignores the styling. The text shows up in the default RTF font but not styled.

Dave,

I'm using the same version of Wordpad as you. Alex is using a newer version. That's probably the reason why ours doesn't work and his does.

I get the same result as you in Wordpad. (And the same if saved as "untitled.rtf".)

It opens fine in Open Office, and Notepad displays the full rtf stuff (as expected).


This doesn't square with Alex's report. Alex, do you have Word installed? Like Chipp, I don't. Does a Word installation add resources that are used by WordPad?


No, I don't have Word installed (heaven forfend !).
The Wordpad version I have is
 5.1 build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158: Service Pack 2
in case that might be the difference.

Running on XP SP1.
WordPad version here is 5.1 build 2600.xpsp2.040919-1003: Service pack 1
I wonder what that means. :-)
