Thanks Stephen. I actually have one client using Corel and they like it.
And you're correct that it is perfect for the task...but the process is
very manual and time consuming to have to key in the data for each price
tag. I'm hoping to produce something that will also provide an

Yes, in the sense that the client's logo will be included. The
application is used by retail appliance and electronics stores. They
start with a format that has their logo and usually some kind of
mantra statement WHERE YOU ALWAYS SPEND MORE! After that, each price
tag will be different, but

Right...a 4x6 vertical is pretty common...or more specifically a 4x5.5
since that allows an 8.5x11 sheet to be cut in half (aka half sheet)
and printed rotated.
The idea seems to be that you want to slap the consumer in the face with
a HEY LOOK AT ME DAMMIT! signage, aka POP signage. (Not the

The TX Text Control is really more or less just an improved version of the
MS RichText control. It's still just a stream of text, not free form
placement. I haven't used it since version 14 (about 2-3 years ago), so
maybe it has changed, but I doubt it.
In that context, even Word isn't really

I usually launch word in automation from within VFP on a specified document,
then wait for word to complete, save in HTML for proper display in IE

Thanks Thierry, but I'm trying to avoid Word as it is a moving target
with little rhyme or reason. MSoft pops out new versions that break the
automation, and the chase starts all over again. I've been working with
a client that had developed their VB app and it used Word to handle the

I wonder if HTML editors like tiny MCE could be more advanced than thick client
rich text controls.
I've setup tiny MCE 2 years ago and was amazed by the number of options you can
choose, especially regarding HTML filtering (strip off and/or purify a given
set of tags and attributes).
Got it
no complaint equals happy in my book!
With CSS and what I've seen of HTML5, I can see where HTML may provide a
lot of benefits...such as cross-OS platform compatibility. I'm seeing a
lot of places where Android tablets can be a big plus in data

What this client was doing, and what I'm looking at doing, is providing

application (prices, SKU #s, description, feature list) at print time.
The end user can either use the template as is or modify the layout to
their liking.
