Hi Joe ---

Look at the Rich Text control, demo'd in the Solutions app that ships with VFP.
Using this, with a LOT of fancy code (for example, you're going to have to come up with a bracketing scheme for replaceable fields) will do the job. It's gonna be far easier, though, to use Automation and an existing word processor.
