XL2000: RTF Code Copied to Cell When You Use the TextRTF Property (213693)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q213693 SYMPTOMS
If you use the TextRTF property for a RichTextBox ActiveX control to
populate a worksheet cell, Rich Text Format (RTF) code may appear in the
cell.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the TextRTF property returns the text of a RichTextBox control, including all RTF code, and Microsoft Excel cannot
interpret RTF code that is copied to a cell with a macro. This is true even
though you can manually apply rich text formatting in a worksheet cell.
RESOLUTION
You cannot use the TextRTF property to place the contents of a RichTextBox control without the RTF code into a worksheet cell. Instead, use the Text property to return the contents of a RichTextBox control to a worksheet cell. However, note that the Text property does not support rich text formatting.
MORE INFORMATION
The RichTextBox control is part of a collection of ActiveX controls that are included with the Office Developers Edition compact disc (CD). It provides properties you can use to apply formatting to any portion of text within the control. To change the formatting of text, you must select it first. Only selected text can be assigned character and paragraph formatting. By using these properties, you can make text bold or italic, change the color, and create superscript and subscript text. You can also adjust paragraph formatting by setting both left and right indents, and you can create hanging indents.

control to a UserForm, select the control, and then press F1.
