I am currently writing a teaching program. The main features of the program
are unimportant here, but program will allow instructors to attach styled
text to files of experiments, so that students can read instructions within
the program.
I have implemented this using TextEdit's 'styl' and 'TEXT' records, making
the writing of the texteditor part of the program straightforward, and
I store the two records as resources in the file of experiments. This all
works OK - I can even read the text in styled format within ResEdit.
My problem is that I've created many pages of this styled text which I now
want to include in a manual. I can't figure a way to get it into Word with
the style information intact - when I copy the text from my application
into the Scrapbook, and paste into Word, only the 'TEXT' record is
recognised (the 'styl' record is there in the scrapbook too). I've used a
special font of graphical symbols and I've also extensively used bold,
italic, different font sizes, etc, so I don't want to have to reformat
within Word.
Does anyone know of any way to get any word processor to recognise the Mac's
styled text?
