Hi Nick,
maybe you can find a solution in this old thread:

where also you were involved.

Hi Wolfgang,

Irrespective of the possible bug in FieldPutBytes, I strongly suspect that the real issue is some incompatibility between the different external components that we use for Word documents in our old VO app and our new .Net one.

After trying every formatting trick I could come up with I've decided to side-step the issue by using RTF instead for these documents, which isn't ideal but gets the job done.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Hi Nick,
another possibility would be to write a VO DLL and use that from X' with the _DLL statement.
