Exporting formatted fields

I'd like to export the correct formatting of fields that contain italicized words. It's comparable to exporting citations for a bibliography. I'm using FMPro 4.1. The quotation marks will export but nothing else.

Ideas?

Exported data is just plain ASCII text, not formatting is carried across. That's the way it is.

To bring across formatting you'll have to use somthing other than export: perhaps copy and past will work for you. If there are lots of fields and records it is going to be a big job.

I was going to suggest writing a script, but FMP scripts only work within FMP. Unless you are on a Macintosh and create a AppleScript... or whatever is comparable for Windows.

That's what I suspected. I'm gearing up to learn enough AppleScript to do this job. Thanks for the confirmation.
