Hi Paul,
>>I have several pages that display member biographys. I would like to be able to have this text be editiable somewhere perhaps seperate from the page it is displayed on. I was sort of looking for some kind of rich text box or something to load the text from the database but not really finding anything native.
>>
>>Is there a good way to display text (a few paragraphs) on a page that can be loaded from a database? What type of data type is best for storing formated text in SQL Server? I would love to find some examples of this out there somewhere if anyone knows of any.
>>Thanks
>>Tim

I've set up a few styles and predefined templates for the end users that they can use to mark things up with. Then I can just dump the text as-is onto other pages and it's formatted nicely.
Can you describe how you are "dump the text as-is onto other pages"? Are you displaying this in some control on the page?
I do have the Telerik stuff and the RadEditor but not sure if that is the right tool for just displaying the text.
Thanks a bunch
