Hi Jim

#6 is more like a word processor feature, not a feature of a Rich Text control.
However, #5 can be performed by at least A2007, was is not for a nasty bug:

That may be solved. 
Further, note that the Rich Text control in A2007 is HTML-based while the standard MS Rich Text ocx is RTF-based.

I once noticed this word processor style ocx which - at a price - could be used for your purpose:

but I have not worked with it myself; I've always used the simple MS Rich Text ocx.

All,
 
  Has anyone had good success with any of the RTF controls out there for
Access?  In the past, I've always been loath to use any non-native controls
because of the lack of functionality in Access's Active-X interface.
 
 I've gotten the gig with the case management thing and I'm going to need a
RTF control that can do the following:
 
1. Different fonts and sizes.
2. Different font colors.
3. Ability to bold and italicize.
4. Ability to high light in color.
5. Ability to spell check
6. Ability to insert pre-defined text (ala AutoCorrect, type a few
characters and a string is inserted in place of).
 
  The last three items are critical and I cannot do without them.  I really
don't want to use Word via OLE because of the overhead.  I have checked out
FMS, inc's RTF control, but it doesn't do #6 from what I can see.
 
  Thoughts, comments, recommendations welcome...
 
TIA,
Jim.
