I can go with a rich text box and use the functionality provided with it. I was trying to figure out a way to use the features that are provided in Word and save me from re-inventing the wheel.

Thing is, there are certain features that are not provided with the rich text box (or am I wrong?) such as inserting tables for example.

By using a rich text box in a VB application or through VBA, I can create areas for data entry on the form. I can control the amount of text the user enters in the text box.

This leaves the issue of printing...

Any thoughts appreciated.
