The best RTF editor you can get is already on your machine... Wordpad. It's
always overlooked, but venerable.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Interface with word
Hello list,
Am using v8 Turbo with compiled application and enjoying the use of the RTF
editor. Unfortunately, it is fairly limited. I understand that v9 will
have a much more robust editor, but that is too far off for my needs.
So my users want to use WORD (ugh). How are others interfacing this? I
need some ideas. Usually, I would shell out to the RTF editor from a field
in a form. Is there a way to use WORD for this? Or do I need to have a
whole extravagant system to shell out and launch WORD and save a file name
and try to figure out how to associate that with a record?
I am trying to make this as easy as possible - Nurses are using this and
they are not all equal in computer skills, so my goal is user-friendly.
Any ideas appreciated!
