Other people have more or less said this, but just to make it explicit:
One way to export styled text from HC is to use of the text-only
markup file formats like RTF or SGML.  I think that somewhere in the
byzantine Microsoft documentation is a guide to RTF format.

Of course, you still have to decide how to map the styled text in
your fields into this format.  That process should be amenable to
standard scripting techniques, the exact details of which are left
as an exercise for the reader :-)
