making a paragraph bold

[zscipio]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I wrote a Java program that writes data to a file that MS Word is going to read. So the name of the file is text.doc.

Whenever a new paragraph is needed \r\n is written to text.doc.
Whenever a new page is needed \f is written to text.doc.

Are the any controls that can be written before a paragraph to cause it to be bold?
Are the any controls that can be written before a paragraph to cause it to be center justified?
Are the any controls that can be written before a paragraph to change its font size?

After text.doc is written it is closed & opened by MS Word.

Thank you for your help.

Write the file in HTML and you have all the controls you would like.

In .txt there are no formatting controls at all.

An HTML file can be very simple indeed: provided it has a .htm extension
Word will do what you want.

Cheers
