POL,
For the most part, I agree with you. Some type of RTF or Rich Edit control is needed to make the job easy. Without it doing this may be difficult and as Kornalius pointed out... slow.
There are a few good articles on the subject at CodeProject.com. I haven't looked around yet, but I was hoping to find some kind of suitable control or an extension to the edit control that would help simplify the job. If I come across anything I'll let you know.
Users hoping for this feature,
The trend is for more screen resolution and faster processors. As more PPCs migrate to VGA and speed becomes less an issue, there will be more and more incentive to do this to increase productivity. It will happen; it's just a matter of time.
Kornalius,
Don't feel bad about saying "no" to some of these requests. I'd rather see you stick to your business plan and not suffer from feature creep caused by my dreams of the perfect environment. PPL is still in it's infantcy and over time the User Base will help make the Dreams Come True.
Wow, I didn't mean to make the above sound like I was writing the ending to Cinderella.
