yeah - that's what I'm thinking... its just that this would involve putting
the text into the field - retrieving it as htmltxt - then manipulating it
and setting the htmltext - so my two questions are:

   1. is it any harder to add teh formatting direct to the utf/8 or utf16 as
   comared to doig the same to htmltext?
   2. Is anything at all lost in converting to htmltext and then back to
   UTF16?
