I have an RTF box and an edit box on a form. I type text into the RTF box and format it. I click on a button that says

THISFORM.EditText = THISFORM.oleRTF.Text
THISFORM.Edit1.REFRESH()

The text shows up normal, and the debugger says .EditText is a character string with no formatting.

That could be a way of stripping the RTF. Another way is don't put it there to begin with. Just put in straight text.
