Thanks john!

I am going to order CR 7.0 as you suggested to see if I can do what I want from there. BTW - I received an email from the CR folks and they told me that there is little info on VFP & CR. I'm hoping to find what I need to know here on the UT...I usually do!

Thanks again for your expert knowledge!

John.

>>I'm looking for information on how to print rich text. I'm trying to use the rich text control, memo field and report writer to conduct a simple mail merge. Is this possible, or do I have to use a word processor to print rtf from memo? I haven't been able to find much information on how to use the rich text control in this manner. Any help is *greatly* appreciated :-)
