Thanks for the reply. I need the data in text format for further processing. When you output text as HTML and read that into Word, it comes in as a series of pictures. Another answer, not posted here, was to convert the selected output to text (alt-7) and then do Cell > Convert To > Input form. This does it nicely, with asterisks separating the fields in each line. Word macros can do the rest. (I think that subscripts and other nonstandard characters must be removed from the Mathematica output to do this.)
