On a worksheet - why not use a Textbox from the Drawing toolbar. Unlike an
ActiveX textbox it can accept mixed font formats. Regards, Peter T "GS80" wrote in message ... Hi All, Is it possible to insert a rich text boxinto an Excel worksheet?

Rich Text box
The problem i have is that the text is being written to a database via a
front end UI. The editor used stores the text in a varbinary(max) field in the database. The output from the editor is in RTF format. I need to return the varbinary text column and insert it into a text box so the format is retained. I'll try give it a shot but does it sound likely that a standard text box is going to be able to handle this? "Peter T" wrote: On a worksheet - why not use a Textbox from the Drawing toolbar.

Rich Text box
Well there's no harm in trying the RTB. On the Controls toolbar click the
toolbox, select MS Rich Text Box and drag onto the sheet. If it sticks it should work. If it doesn't it's most likely due to a security setting that can be switched in the registry, I don't recall the particular key but see links scattered in this discussion: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...b649c569bb5369 Once you've got it working in your system it should be fine, the main problem though is if you want to distribute the file with the RTB.
