>I'm looking on the web at Rich Text editors. Is there one that is FREE (or closer to free).

I have used the Microsoft Richtext Control V3 (comes standard with WinXP). I have created a class for editing with formatting commands -- paragraph, font, highlight, etc. These format commands work by using the Win32 function SendMessage(). I will zip it and send you a copy tonight (don't have access to email until then); just drop the "TextEdit" class onto a form to see it. You will also need the rtfprinter class -- this was originally developed by another on the UT; I have modified it to support portrait and landscape modes and page ranges.
