I've been working with HyperCard 2.0 for about two weeks now and have had NO
major problems with it and very few minor ones...  I'm impressed.  I have a
question which if answered would make one of the 2.0 enhancements more useful
if there's an answer.  Is there any way to import and/or export styled text
(i.e., text with boldface, italics, etc.) in and out of HC?  For example, I'd
like to be able to type a letter into a field and then save it to a word-
processor-readable file without losing all the character formatting info.  Is
this possible?
