The problem I'm seeing when I use this technique is that Revolution no longer pays attention to the "hard column stops" in the table field object when I start using the HTMLTEXT method.?
When I just use the native Revolution table-field object, I can set the tab-stops to a certain width, and my data in each column never runs into the other columns.? The minute I start using the HTMLTEXT method, it appears that Revolution stops paying attention to it's native tab-stops, and data that over-runs a column no longer gets "cropped", but bleeds into the columns to it's right. I suppose I could start heading in the direction of embedding a browser into Rev to get this text-field functionality, but at that point, I might as well just do the whole thing as a web-site. - Rob -----Original Message----- From: Jim Ault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: How to use Revolution <use-revolution@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:54 am Subject: Re: How to get PHP to pass colored text to RTF text in Revolution? you want the HTMLText property, in the dictionary.
