>>>My client would like to use a memo field to compose the text of an ad (as an alternative to a word processor). I've set the memowidth to 70. I need to do the following: The user should be able to click anywhere in the memofield and choose whether they want to left or right justify or center the text on that line. I've experimented with SelStart,SelText, etc., but haven't been successful. I couldn't find a way to determine which line in the memo they clicked on. If the user hits the enter key on a line, there may be less than 70 characters on that line, so SelStart is somewhat useless. Any ideas?

I think you may be able to do it but you will have to do it programmatically. This means that you will have to also programmatically determine where the lines ends unless you are requiring the user to press ENTER after each line (and I suspect you are not going to do this). This may be more work than what it is worth. I like the idea of using the Rich Text control.
