Have a look at this http://vb-helper.com/tut5.htm for serialising object.
So you can pass a Range/Characters/TextBox object and your classes reads the
text along with the various formatting info and writes it to a file in the
required format.

Thanks Nick! I will check out the Open statement and see if it can do
what I want.

The files I'm writing out have to be read in by another piece of
software which only reads on particular unique format. So I'm stuck
with creating my own format, unfortunately.

Thanks for your input.
Emma
