I have created a small RTF file using WordPad and I can easily load it into
a VB Richtextbox control. I want to be able to edit my RTF file using code. The
problem is that the 'richtext' will not hold the current formatting even if I
only perform something simple like inserting a character in the middle of a word.

Example:
(Before editting)

My Name         <----- 18pt
My Address      <----- 18pt
My Phone        <----- 18pt

Hello to everyone in the world. <------ 12pt

==== Procedure: insert 'zz' into 'everyone'
(After editting)

My Name         <----- 18pt
My Address      <----- 18pt
My Phone        <----- 18pt

Hello to everyzzone in the world.       <------ 18pt****

It all becomes 18pt!  Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

You should use the Code

RichTextBox1.SaveFile filename, rtfRTF

This should save your file with all the formatting.

Thanks for the help but my problem not saving the text and formatting. The
problem is that after I make the changes, it shows-up incorrectly in the
RichText control. All of the later text takes on the formatting of the previous
text.

That's the way it works. Can't help further without seeing the code you use
to format your text edits.

FWIW, I have been using the RTF control for a couple of months and have found
it incredibly buggy. I would like to know if there's a later, cleaner version
of the control available. Can't find anything on MS website.
