I have not figured out how to edit the text with HTML tags from within VFP app (if this is what you are asking). In my case, I create the text with all the tags outside of VFP and use this text as a body of emails. That is, at run time I open the text file, replace the place holders with values from a cursor, and then "attach" this text to the body of email.
I can view this text in an editbox of VFP but not sure if you can edit it as you would with an HTML editor.

>>>Hi.
>>>I have an application whcih Sends Emails.
>>>I am trying to devise a way of entering Generic text (With Html Tags) into the body of an Email. I also need a facility to change Some of the Data.
>>>E.g.
>>>Dear MR. BLOGGS
>>>Pleas find attached our details
>>>Please contact MARY SMYTH if you have any problems
>>>Best Regards,
>>>JIM BROWN
>>>
>>>Above Upper Cased stuff is taken from a file , but all other stuff will be standard (With BOlding, Underlining, Different Fonts etc).
>>>Currently , I have this in a Memo Field with 'XXXXXX' and 'YYYYYY' for the upper case and I do a replace For, but when I show the Memo field, or want to do some other mods, I am working in Raw HTML Tag format.
>>>
>>>I guess some sort of a HTML editor with a facility to replace Place Holders, whcih ideally the Customer on Site can maintain
>>>Any Ideas appreciated .
>>>regards,
>>>Gerard

>>What I have done in this case is create the body of email as a text with place holders for names, emails, etc. For example,
>>you can enclose the name MR.BLOGGS as [TO_PERSON] and MARY SMYTH as [CONTACT_PERSON]. Then using STRTRAN, at run time, the code replaces the place holder with a value from a field. It works for me.

>>HTH.
