James,

I duplicated your processing without the comments - see below
 
> 1  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
     ◄ If:
     Then: HTML "1":CR "HiThere.htm":TI "Hi there"
2  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
     ◄ If:
     Then: HTML "1":BO

     ◄ If:
     Then: HTML "1":H1 "Hi There America"

     ◄ If:
     Then: HTML "1":CL

This is the output from the processing table.  It comes up in larger, bold type face.
Hi There America

My first question is what version of filePro are your running and what OS?

Next, did you create this as a report output of a process only output?
