In my app, I've got a rich text box, used only to display the contents of .rtf files (Locked = True; user can't edit it). These docs were originally created in MS Word 97/2000, then saved in rtf format. To double-check, I would view the rtf file in WordPad, and everything looks peachy.
In my VB program, I load the RTB with the following statement:
Code:
rtbRTFFile.LoadFile strSelectedFile, rtfRTF
For the most part, the files display fine; but sometimes parts of the document do not display exactly as intended: for example, it seems like an extra tab is randomly inserted in front of a paragraph (where other paragraphs display just fine), another example is that in some instances a bulleted list does not display exactly as intended. And forget about displaying tables - they display as a jumbled mess, so I convert them to text in Word before saving the doc as rtf.
In any event, I can live with these quirks if need be, but if something can be done to improve this situation, I'd certainly like to hear about it.

I think it's because the richtextbox that comes with vb is crippled. Try this.

I Do Belive you can set the default TAB size .
