I have a huge need to be able to enter and print rtf-enhanced text. I have been able to add an rtf control to my form and bind it to the data, and it saves the rtf codes in the table along with the text that shows on the form, but there are two things I haven't been able to get it to do yet.

1. accept formatting commands, e.g., use mouse to highlight a portion of text (this much works, of course) and then change its font characteristics. The documentation says right click gets a menu of all the verbs, but all I get there is the standard edit menu (cut, copy, paste, etc.)

2. I have to be able to print this stuff (through ole to Word would acceptable but very distantly behind being able to do it directly). An article in FoxPro Advisor showed how to print from an rtf control on a form, but how does one apply that to printing a field in a report?

Bonus question: Is VFP 6.0 any better at this?

I hope someone has an answer, I'm going nuts!

Thanks,

Reg
