Enriched mode text contains text properties. However, Emacs has also text properties built in. I do not know if it may be saved in such way. I wish it could. If you wish to present tables in colors you have options to generate PDF files and HTML files, which can then hold table colors and other text properties. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
