    use "Rich Text" format, then you can set things such as font

    These files are made with the open for output statement.

    Text files (.txt) have NO formatting, and there is nothing you can do about it. As phinds said, use Richtext (RTF).

    It's a simple file format, to find out what you need to put into the file just create a document in Word that has the formatting you need, save it as Rich-text (.rtf), then open the file in notepad to see what you need to add to get the formating you want.

    yes, ".dat" is used for lots of different things.. go for rtf, using the method i said before to find the file format.
