text formatting lost on import?

[harryk]

..From the manual I get that idea. I avoid formatting of field-information, but the MailMerge part of my project uses global userdefined fields that are intended to format them in browse mode.(style font etc.).

I did not try it out yet, but do we loose the textformat information on import, ie for an update?

I was pretty sure of the answer, but I did a quick test anyway. FM to FM, text formatting is preserved. If you export to text, then import, I'm sure text formatting would be lost.
