Thanks, Richard I'd definitely consider that but I'd like to take it a bit further before I do that. I have changes of colour more or less sorted and am now looking at font styles ... this is on the VFP side rather than the C#/.NET side

It is designed to: Use the clipboard to copy code from an open code window Fetch the contents of the clipboard as RTF Convert the RTF to HTML and display it in a web browser control It could be helpful in two ways: 1. To experiment with different colours and styles, change them and see the results immediately. You can change several areas (Keywords etc) and having made the changes (either one at a time or all at once) see their effect on the code in the web browser (instead of that stupid little preview that you get in Tools~Options~Editor) 2. The resulting HTML could be copied to the clipboard and pasted straight into, for example, a web page or blog. At the moment the RTF to HTML conversion itself makes use of a third party control (TextDynamic). Not only is this control complete overkill for what is needed, but it is also eye-wateringly expensive (as in £ hundreds). So I have put together (from various sources) a C#/.NET application to do the conversion and it builds successfully. However stepping through the code I get to a point where there seems to be a problem (not an error, just not doing what I tell it to do ...). The relevant part of the code is based on HtmlToXamlDemo.HtmlFromXamlConverter.WriteFlowDocument(System.Xml.XmlTextRea der, System.Xml.XmlTextWriter) Example (csharpcodi.com) <https://www.csharpcodi.com/csharp-examples/HtmlToXamlDemo.HtmlFromXamlConve <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/k-1aCR6M0Ph5O5XhokZEi?domain=csharpcodi.c om> rter.WriteFlowDocument(System.Xml.XmlTextReader,%20System.Xml.XmlTextWriter) /> If anybody would be prepared to work on this with me, or to help me move forward, would they please contact me off-list.
