Patrick,
I've not used the RTF for anything in a couple of years, and then I was only playing with it. Use Wordpad to mark up some text with color, store it to an RTF file and look in there. Then all you have to do is put the same {} codes into the RTFText where you want them.
>Can you give an example of how to do this "on the fly" as I was trying to do the same thing but without any luck.
