Hi,

I need to use a TRichEdit control for interacting with Rtf files used by 
both word processors and the application, but I have some difficulties 
trying to merge formated text from the TRichEdit control into the Rtf files, 
because font style, size and some times colors are shown different. I think 
it is because different format specification version.

In D2007 the TRichEdit control what rich text format specification version 
is supported?

Thank you.

Nando.

The control still uses version 1 of the rich edit common control. On XP
and Vista that is in fact only a wrapper around version 3, but the
wrapper does not pass on all V3 features for backward compatibility
reasons.

There are TRichedit derivatives around that support V2/V3 (e.g. in the
JEDI VCL). But even version 3 supports only a limited subset of the
full RTF specification (which is basically whatever the lates MS-Word
version produces). It has better behaviour in preserving unsupported
features through load/save cycles, but you are still bound to loose
some stuff.
