Yeah I'm impressed with why they did in BrochureMachine. If you can't find it let me know and I can post you (in a free time - BrochureMachine.zip is 602K).

>>>I have studied the MS RTF control that ships with VFP 7 and have the following questions that I have been unable to answer.

>>>Any help or insight appreciated including experience with and/or recommendations for alternative RTF/HTML or edit box (text) ActiveX controls.

>>>Thanks!

>>>
>>>1. Is there a way to make an RTF control transparent?
>>>
>>>2. Is there a way to set a wallpaper-like background for an RTF control?
>>>
>>>3. Is there a way to force an RTF control to word wrap its contents to fit its control boundries vs. use the page margins set in the original RTF content? Is there a way to turn off or remove page margin settings in an RTF file so that an RTF control will word wrap its contents?
>>>
>>>4. Is there a way to determine what text a mouse cursor is over when a mouse is moved over the contents of an RTF control?
>>
>>1. AFAIK no. It has its own window (Unless you use winAPI but that AFAIK supported by w2K and later)
>>2. Might be. You could try watermarking a word doc and saving as RTF to get RTF codes.
>>3. Set RightMargin to 0. thisform.OleRTF.RightMargin = 0
>>4. Above me currently :) With and editbox below code might provide a nonsmart way :
>>

LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord
>>if abs(val(this.tag)-nYCoord)>Fontmetric(1) ;
>>	or abs( val(substr(this.tag,at(',',this.tag)+1))-nXCoord)> Fontmetric(6)
>>	mouse dblclick at nYCoord, nXCoord window (wontop())pixels
>>	this.tag = trans(nYCoord)+','+trans(nXCoord)
>>endif
