On one of my forms, (a comment page from an appraisal report) I have a large text
field--big enough to hold an entire page of text. Within that text field, it is
desirable to use bold headings to separate the categories of the comments. When I set
the field to allow RTF, the first thing that happens is that the already-entered (not
"default text") text disappears. Clicking in the field with the hand tool makes the
text reappear, and it is subject to the RTF modifications, i.e., I
can boldface the category titles (or, subheads if you prefer). When I click somewhere
else on the form, the text disappears from view, but is still there and can be brought
back with a click. Once the text is brought back with a click, you can add more text,
as you would expect. Screen update is slow, but no text is lost (after all, this is a
fairly slow Mac by today's standards.)

Jim - I have seen this behaviour in versions 4 and 5. If I remember correctly I was
able to get around this by changing the "Multi-line" property of the field from the
options tab. I can't remember if it was set on or off but try both and one or the
other should fix the problem. As for the other problem not encountered it yet so sorry
but no tips on that one.
