Bruce, Thank you for your input. As far as using the actual RTF codes, this seems to be one of the better suggested solutions. Many of the others are what I consider "work-arounds". I mean, the will do the job, and the text will appear properly to the user, but if you open up the RTF data, there will be no signs of /super or /sub RTF codes.
