Yes, and as answered to Ben, I do need to use .txt files as described...

Good idea, and like Hamid writes I've seen this dialog type once or 
twice in connection with OOXML/ODT files - never with plain text files.

And indeed I'd also wish that it would be possible always to save the 
basic font formatting - not necessarily other types of text formatting, 
- but to be able to use both normal, italics, bold-italics and bold _is_ 
sometimes a "must" in some files.

I think it will be quite a lot easier to add these features to NwP 
instead of writing to ask all the multimedia developers to implement the 
possibility of handling .rtf files...

Cheers, Erik Richard
