That was my original thinking. But then I thought some more. There's really only a couple of places I want to put the RTFs, so maybe a toolbar is overkill for this application. Also, it would be the _only_ toolbar in the app, so I'm wondering if it's worth explaining toolbars to my users for it. I'm also having fun making a word processor class. :) The goal is to be able to just drop it on a form and you have a mini word processor.

So I guess I'm going to go with it all in one, at least for this app. Maybe in the future I'll make a toolbar for it.

Thanks,
