Hi, Marc:

I've tried this, but when I double-click within the rich text edit (called 'rtBox' in my code) it does nothing (except the default behaviour, i.e. it high-lights the text in the editbox):

Declaration:  
this.rtBox.DoubleClick += new                  System.EventHandler(this.rtBox_DoubleClick);

private void rtBox_DoubleClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   string [] text_to_insert = { rtBox.Text };
}

What am I missing?

Thanks, again, for your help! it's much appreciated....

John F.
