The field is a regular table field with tabstops.  I loop through the text
and replace a word here and there with an html color string.  Then I set the
htmlText of the field to the modded text that has html codes.  It looks good
so far.  Then I put the htmlText of fld "fData" into URL "file:C:\data.rtf"
When I open it in Wordpad, the tabs are all wrong, so I select all and add
tabs and save the file.

If I load the binfile: of the raw RTF file from LC into a field, I see alot
of /par codes (paragraph??? idunno).  If I load the binfile: of the raw RTF
file AFTER adding tabs in Wordpad, you're right, there are "\tab" tags all
throughout.

I don't think these are one to one replaceable, but I'll try a few things.
