Simon Jone #3 / 3	RichTextBox- Bold Problem The RichTextBox control is character oriented rather than line oriented. You can find out which line a character is on using the GetLineFromChar method. You can run through the characters until you get to line 2, set SelStart to that position. Count characters from that point until you get to the start of line 3. Set SelLength to that number of characters. Now setting SelBold to True will embolden the 2nd line. Does that help at all? -- Simon Jones MillStream Designs Ltd Independent IT Consultants I need to bold every 3rd line starting on the second line on the push of a command button
