Dragan,

I know what you mean. Since that part of the app is mostly a word processing function, both I and the client prefers to use Word rather than memo fields and the RTF control. It does turn out to be fairly easy to read the .doc file via automation. Using section breaks imposes only a minimal impact on the way they have to build the file.

>I've done some contract generating from Fox, and I've always kept the text excerpts in a Fox table with memos, and never had problems, no matter what format the output had to be. Actually, I think you should decide if you like this option, or keep it in Word. My preference was always to keep as much as I can in Fox (specially the data), and do just the local specific stuff in other tools.
