I am still trying to convert to the use .txt files by way of exhibits in
a journal report in TMG 4.0d to MSW (2000).

I've attached the external .txt file to the burial tag.

What happens is the lines are truncated at about 253 characters by a
paragraph marker and the text continues on the next line.

This prevents me from using the .txt file for biographies via exhibits,
because of the clean up necessary after opening in MSW.

I may as well go back to inserting the files manually and in that way I
can keep the attributes of underlining, bold and line breaks where they
are supposed to be as a .doc file.

Has anyone heard of plans to have exhibits that will import .pdf or .doc files?
