Text
Characters are 8-bit, in the Windows ANSI code page. The text of the main document is
one run from fcMin to fcMac, followed by the other stories in
the order given by the character counts in the FIB. A paragraph ends with
0x0D, a table cell with 0x07.
Formatting pages
Character formatting is stored in 512-byte pages, reached through a bin table of FCs with 2-byte page numbers. A page has the positions of each run (4 bytes each), then one byte per run that is half the offset of the run’s properties, then the properties. The page’s last byte is the number of runs. A run’s properties are a size byte and fixed character properties: the first byte holds flags, bit 0 bold and bit 1 italic, and the top bit hidden text.
Paragraph pages and style sheets of these versions are not interpreted by this site.
