Printing to a text file

[novicebob]

I have been using an old (DOS) modified FileMaker program that lets me print records in the format of the layout screen. This output creates a text file with all of the formatting of the layout and is convenient for importing into other programs and/or attaching (as text) to an e-mail.

Is there any equivalent in FileMaker Pro 6? Search as I might, I've not run across anything remotely related!

Not that I know of.

I get aound this by a FMP script that exports the data to file, then opens an MS Office document with an embedded on open VBA script to do the rest.

Does this maintain the layout containing the data?
