MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / March 2006A 'formatted' text box?
I want to display a certain portion of text onto a user form, but I want the formatting to carry into the text box I have created for this purpose. How can I do that? (Right now the best I can get is plain, unformatted text, with fields showing up as square blocks.) e.g., : textbox1=selection.text Can it be done? Ed (in Virginia) Ed was telling us: Ed nous racontait que : > I want to display a certain portion of text onto a user form, but I > want the formatting to carry into the text box I have created for [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Ed (in Virginia) You need to add a control to the Userfrom toolbox (Right-click the toolbox and click on "Additional controls..."). But IIRC, the RichTextbox control is not par of the standard Windows or Office installation. This means you need to get a third party control, like So you have to find one yourself, like the one offered at http://www.vbcodesource.com/control.html or http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=14276 The problem lies in the distribution, licensing, etc... You may choose to go down this road if you are developing something for a closed environment.

I will try that. I am curious to know if a control isn't already built into Word. When a folder is displayed, one of the display options is "Preview" and Preview shows formatted text. Is there a way to use that same control?

Sorry, but I do not believe that this is exposed to VBA.
