Hi @msmanaplan,
As Designed (and as you’ve observed), native Workfront reporting does not preserve such rich text formatting on export (ie “stripping it out”).
Instead, I invite you to consider our Magic Reports solution which export pdf, tiff, Word, Excel, or even PowerPoint format, and do include all of the user-entered bold, italics or underline, bullets, numbering and hyperlinks, just as the user entered and intended them.
I’d be happy to discuss your specific requirements further via email at doug.denhoed@atappstore.com
Regards,
Doug
