Printing RTF files within RR

Post by Marcelo_Alaggio_(Guest) » Wed Jul 10, 2002 4:35 pm

Kathleen,____Within a report, I have to print a text stored in an external file in RTF format. I would like to print it from my report. The reason of use an external file is that the text can be changed a lot of times, so I have to let the users do it. Also, I have to respect all the special effects of RTF, such as bold, italic, fonts, etc.__How can I tell RR to print in some position within the report the text of this external rtf file?____Best regards,______

You can insert an RTF file as an OLE object but depending on its size, it may or may not give you the desired result.____Kathleen__R&R Support
