Printing text

I wanted to know how I could print text from a textbox like Wordpad prints text. For example if I had a textbox where I typed an essay out. How would I print that textbox so that the essay looks like it was printed by Wordpad or Wordperfect.

Have you checked out the Rich Text Box Control?

You can do some fairly complicated formatting with it...
I have code module avail for RichTextBox that allows changing fonts, alignment, colors, etc and prints accordingly. Contact me direct:

I can't use RichText because im working in standard and its not registered. I get a license error when i try to add it onto my form. If you can tell me how i could load it onto my form without buying vb5 enterprise. I'd be happy to give you the points just for that ;) thanks
NowDays, i don't think that programers have to really program print jobs. for that we have a some powerfull tools we can use.
if i were u - i would make a little database with a MEMO field,
and use one of them tools to make a report based on that database-field.
