You can use a word processor (e g, MS Word) to create the text, formatted as you like, and
to output an .RTF file. That will have the RTF formatting commands in it. You can see them
by using a word processor (e g, MS Word) to open the .RTF file as text.

The RTF file can be streamed into your rich edit control, or you can extract just the
formatting commands you need and write them into your pgm.
