>A blank line is a blank line. How does Word handle blank lines - there is your answer. Behaviour like skipping a line if it is empty is a report writer feature like, VFP's report writer. From what you are saying, this is probably the wrong product for what appears to be mostly a reporting requirement.

VisualDocuments has all the features of a report writer (and more) but is very controlable and has a printer object that specifically hooks into the TX control. So, you could get the flexible reporting attributes of VisDocs which would ouput into and through TX and, have a form based word processing control.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for taking time to answer me.
I to have been on their homepage - but didn't get much. I've been on Codemine's homepage, as you write TX Control with VisDocs.

I understand on you that you _at least_ need VisDocs together with TX Control. But thats in the cheapest version $638. It then really has to be good! The problem with Word as RTF generator is that you cann't be sure your costumers has it - and then they have to buy it... It takes time to start - What happens in next version of Word?? When you deliver the tools you know what's delivered...

What do you think of VisDocs?? It seems that I have to begin there, and like you perhaps ad the TX Control.

Thanks

Lasse
