   Try the following code as work around:
   

   
   ' flag the section with bullet mark
   rtfSectionText.SelBullet = True
   

   
   ' replace bullet with numbers
   rtfSectionText.SelRTF = Replace(rtfSectionText.SelRTF, "\pnlvlblt", "\pndec", 1, -1, vbTextCompare)
   

   
   I found som rtf documentation on the Microsoft site:
   http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec_16.asp
   

   
   Hope it helps

   Hi,
   

   
   I am having problems in sending selected text to a rich text box control without selecting the text at runtime e.g. at runtime the rich text box contains the text "Selection" and when a command button is pressed the following text in BOLD is appended to the current text "IS EASY"
   

   
   Selection IS EASY

    Actually in the subscribe fo not use * because * 0 is 0 and will not have any effect. It is better to use +200 (approximetly) to have the result you want...

    Hi,
    

    
    i am working with richtextbox quite a lot of time, but i am still wondering how can i input a picture in it. Also i have the point that i ignore  some of his opportunities. So i would be glad if you could write something about them. Thank you on advance

    Have you tried the Multiline property?

    K, first off. Right away you mension:
    
    Object.Save (FilePath, FileType)
    
    WHAT FILETYPES? Can it save in RTF, Text, and what are the corresponding numbers?????????????
    
    Secondly, I am sure that in EVERY rich text editor I have ever used, you can set different indents for different paragraphs. Yet you do not mension how to align a paragraph... "is just like setting the alignment for a whole textbox."
    
    Aside from that it was pretty good, but can't you also do Horizontal Rules in Rich Text? I know no-one normally does, but if ya can . . .
    
    Thanks for the info though, I was always confused about the select stuff.

    Hello KillerSheep,
    

    
    Is this what you're looking for:
    

    
    '@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
    Option Explicit
    

    
    Public Const WMUSER = &H400
    Private Const EMSETTARGETDEVICE = (WM_USER + 72)
    

    
    Public Declare Function SendMessageLong Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal LParam As Long) As Long
    

    
    Public Enum ViewModes
       Default = 0
       WordWrap = 1
       WYSIWYG = 2
    End Enum
    

    
    Const EMFORMATRANGE As Long = WMUSER + 57
    

    
    '** Set View Mode
    Public Sub SetViewMode(ByVal ViewMode As ViewModes)
       Select Case ViewMode 'Set View Mode
           Case 0 'No Wrap
               SendMessageLong rtfText.hWnd, EMSETTARGETDEVICE, 0, 1
           Case 1 'Word Wrap
               SendMessageLong rtfText.hWnd, EMSETTARGETDEVICE, 0, 0
           Case 2 'WYSIWYG
               On Error Resume Next
               SendMessageLong rtfText.hWnd, EM_SETTARGETDEVICE, Printer.hdc, Printer.Width
      End Select
    End Sub

    What I want is to present the text in a justified manner.
    Not left, right or center.
    
    Justified as in MS Word. ie, both left and right ends are aligned.
23. Luke Lesurf
    18 May 2002 at 17:41
    By justify im assuming you meen Right, Left and Center. You need to use the
    
    Code:

    object.SelAlignment

    
    
    and one of the following;
    
    

    
    
    1. vbLeftJustify
       
    2. vbRightJustify
       
    3. vbCenter
       

    
    
    for example;
    
    RichTextBox1.SelAlignment = vbCenter
    
    or
    
    RichTextBox1.SelAlignment = vbLeftJustify
    
    Hope thats some help;
