Try creating a variable that contains the ascii code for the curly
brackets. Then, when you write out your line,

   Write 1 From $CurlyLeft $SomeField $CurlyRight

Subject:  rtf output for MSWord

I created a Word document and saved it as rich text format.  Now, I'm
trying to create a sqr report as a rtf file using the information from my
template.  I've been successful doing this for Excel "slk" files.
RTF files have numerous right and left curly brackets which produce sqr
errors.  I've tried to escape the curly brackets by replacing each single
one with 2 brackets, but sqr still tries to create substitution variables
when I write the data.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can escape these characters or what I'm
doing wrong?

Thanks so much!
