Just have had a look at it and couldn't find a way for saving documants in the plain text format with all the formatting maintained. As Help says, the "Text out->Dos text" functon converts indetns, tabs and centering marks into spaces, ignoring such substructures as text boxes... Plus is doesn't export tables correctly. MS Word 5.5 does save part of the formatting correctly. Anton
