This is where I think you might use an Edit Field. If you were to put the Styled
Text into a regular EF, I think that, if you then saved it from the EF to Disk,
it would be saved without the Garbage. Just a hunch, since I've never tried it;
but I do know that this seems to work with other apps.

Not familiar with it, but if Staz says it can be used, IT CAN BE USED!
(PROBABLY) Since this won't be the first time you'll have to figure out
something like this, I'd take the time and make the effort to determine which
parts you need and which you don't.

If such is the case, then your main problem is breaking your text into pages,
which may not be so easy; since we're dealing with pixels, not lines of text and
even the height of lines may vary from line to line.

I realize I haven't helped you any, but it seems like everyone else is getting
ready for the big fight this evening - party, party, party!

Good Luck,
