We once did an app in VB where we could insert "place holder fields" into the text by dragging and dropping a node or double-clicking a node from a tree view control. This was used later to generate a kind of mail merge document where we replaced the field(s) with as value. You might could do something like this, but insert text.

Gustav, <<#6 is more like a word processor feature, not a feature of a Rich Text control.>> yeah, that's is going to be the rub I think. The nursing staff is pretty adamant about having it. A lot of the reports they generate will include some canned text, so the ability to insert text at a specific point is pretty important to them. Right now, they are using Word to do all the reports. It may be that I'll need to bite the bullet and use in-place activation with Word to get what I need. <snip>
