Formatted ASCII puts a carriage return at the end of each
paragraph and wraps text continually within it. This format does
not retain any font information such as bold or italic.
WYSIWYG Text attempts to look as much like the original
document as possible without retaining any font information. It
uses spaces to delimit columns and a carriage return at the end of
every line.
