Thanks Mark. This does give me text with html formatting tags, but what I want displayed is the formatted text, as it would show up in a browser, not the tags. I just want to use tags to format it.

Try this: 1.) Create some formatted text in a text editor. 2.) Copy that formatted text to the clipboard. 3.) Paste it into a text field ( field "yourField" ) in Rev. 4.) In the message window enter this: put the HTMLText of field "yourField" into field "yourField" This way you can see the different kinds of HTML tags. Also see the docs on HTMLText.
