I believe the EditField's original purpose is for simple bits of text, text fields in dialogs, etc., not full-fledged WYSIWYG word processing. For routine use, the EditField as it is works fine, doesn't it? I'd love to see REAL Software offer an additional WP control -- perhaps the Formatted Text Project -- for high-end, cross-platform sophisticated text processing apps. Even if that control was only in the pro version, that'd be okay. I just want it. (Yes, my main RB app is a word processor.) -- Marc Zeedar Publisher REALbasic Developer Magazine http://www.rbdeveloper.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
