[quote="dtussman":3dbf1ocn]Also I noticed that using the Preview function if you click the button to save it as a Microsoft Word document it saves it as an image and so you can't edit the text at all. Is that the best we can do?[/quote:3dbf1ocn] Yes. The preview program itself receives images in the form of metafiles ( *.emf ). It does not have any idea of the contents of these images. What preview program does is to simply display these images and where required embed these images into Word or PDF files for export. If we want contents to be exported to Word, the appropriate stage is when we generate report. Instead of sending to printer or preview, we need to send it to Word. If we want to export from XBrowse, we can use oBrw:ToWord(). This exports the contents to a Word Table. If we generate our own report, then we need to write our own routine to export to Word.
