Thanks Sergey. There's a problem with this for me, though; I'm building

a document from an XML DOM using a NodeIterator, and so far I've been

able to add items to the main TRichViewEdit with no problems, but I was

hoping to construct the table completely in memory before adding it to

the TRichView; I guess I can't actually apply formatting to data in a

table cell unless the table is part of a TRichViewEdit, then?

The heart of the problem is the unpredictable level of recursion in tables.

Cheers,

Martin
