Hi Troy, The standard fields in Revolution won't satisfy your needs, I'm afraid : text alignment is set for an entire field, and doesn't include justify ; bulleted lists aren't built-in (though this could be mimicked through cleer use of images) ; and tables is a much-requested feature. If you only have to _display_ this type of formatted text on Windows, you could give altBrowser a whirl : <http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/altBrowser.htm> But this would not be a solution for editing. Sorry to bring disappointing news, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
