Mark and Klaus, Thanks for your response. This is a new behavior for me, a command creating a file instead of returning a value. I did find the files you suggested. Same as the original except the suffix is changed from .doc to .rft That looked promising. But when I get url "file:theFilePath" of that RTF file in order to import it into a LC field, I get a lot of formatting code in the field. Opening that file in TextEdit or Word give a much better result. But it is no where near the formatting quality one gets from copying the text from within Word and then pasting it into a LC field.
