Hi!

It is software problem. When you install MS Word from MS Office, it will print RTF text properly. There are no OLE control on your machine that can represent the RTF file content in a general field in VFP.

>I've got some richtext generated by the RichText control and am trying to print that richtext in a Report Writer report. I used the steps outlined in KB Q246088 as a starting point, but every time I print I get a Notepad icon instead of the RichText. Furthermore, I am not confident that the Picture/Active-X Bound Control in the report will stretch to accomodate the content. It's currently clipping the Notepad icon and I don't see a "Stretch with Overflow" type option such as the one available for TextBox fields (the other options are Scale picture and don't indicate that the frame changes size).
