Hi Reza,

As tipped by Boris, Report Sculptor can print bmp snapshot of actieveX control (with rich text) directly from RS forms, but ActiveX have to be visible at execution time, and text when rendered on papper comes a bit blurred (being printed as bitmap).
Better option for formatted text with RS, is from within plain text file (or memo), where you can format it by using simple HTML formating tags (as when You write message in UT) and also scripting embeded within text. See BoilerPlate example ;

As for RTF, for realy accurate rendering of RTF within actual FRX report, you should have look at Moxie Report Objects by Bo Durban.
