Since the Mac is a pure graphic machine, the only way you can get text
from a FoxPro report is to use the old Xbase ? and \ to export to a text
file. You can't do it with the Report Writer.

You can get close, though, by using a Chooser extension (akin to a
printer driver) that handles printer output. Two which come to mind are
Print2PICT, which produces a PICT format file of the output (can be
viewed but not edited), or Myrmidon, which produces HTML code closely
matching the printed format. Both are available on shareware.com.
