Hi WXT,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. Looks like you discovered a bug!
I also checked this and you are correct, there is a lot of text missing in the resulting file!

I created a bug report:
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16308

EDIT: It just has been confirmed as a bug!


Best

so any help to make it work ?

I think you are making things very complicated.

Here is a stack that took me 5 minutes.
with this script in the button "Export to RTF":

on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
ask file "Choose where you wish to export your text"
if the result = "cancel"
then exit mouseUp
else
put the RTFtext of fld "fff" into url("file:" & it & ".rtf")
get the longFilePath of it
set the itemDelimiter to slash
set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of the longFilePath of it
end if
end mouseUp

I have attached the stack so you can play with it.
