Depends how fancy they are :) ie: It might be fancy enough to be complcated to create with native controls. Then create it however you like in Word using whatever you like (highlighting, pictures, autoshapes, callboxes etc) and save as RTF. Add RTF control to form, set appearance to flat, color to one you choose (ie: Active border), enabled = .F. and filename to saved file.
