John - Indeed, that's why I said that we are waiting with bated breath for
the 'Save as MS Word' options etc. All the current RTF option does is saves
the output, just at it is on screen, as an RTF file - and I'm not personally
conviced it achieves anything more than a straight text file can.
It would, as you say, be hard to believe that any solution anyone has
devised for this problem could be worse than what is offered by SI!
Kind Regards,
John
