Greetings one and all.

                   EXPORTING FORMATTED TEXT

   In Hypercard, you can format text: ie whole fields or text 
within fields can be specified to be italic, bold, fontsize etc.
That is GREAT, but how do I export this information to a
MS Word file, or other.

    It seems Hypercard will only write to ASCII-style files, 
which cannot accept such formatting information (bold, italic etc).
If this is so, it would seem to be a very silly ommission from 
the upgrade. Any ideas ?
