We are running Authorware 6.5 & want to give users the ability to edit text,
read from external files. This is straight forward with a simple text file
(filename.txt) where we can read the data from a file then write back the
amended data to the file. We are having problems doing this with formatted text
(filename.rtf).

Is it possible for users to access the Rtf Objects Editor? If not, is it
possible for Authorware to open the filename contained in a variable using
Microsoft Word?

From: Mark Tomlinson on
Can your end users not use WordPad to edit the RTF file?

You can embed an RTF ActiveX control.

Well, the Microsoft RTF ActiveX Control needs license to distribute. Please
do check out any licensing issues before distributing.
