RTF Files with tables do not format correctly

[VicSpainhower]

I have a vb6 program that reads an rtf file into a RichTextBox. The rtf file is simply a word table. The problem is that it ignores the boundries of the column and wraps the text either onto the next line (starting in col1 for the last col) or the text will just format into the adjacent column. I have been searching all day so I'm hoping someone has a solution for this.

Thanks,

Vic

Having never had this problem seeing some of your code would be good.

Not much code required but maybe the rtf file that I'm using would help. I'll attach the file;

Steps to re-create:

1. create a project
2. Create a form
3. add a RichTextBox control
4. set the filename property to the attached file
5. run the program

The rtf file is at

I actually did it a different way (maybe because of the strange whay it deals with it), but that was quite awhile ago. I stopped using RTBs. Of the projects I did use it I just noticed I didn't have any text wrap so that was why I never ran into the problem. I've looked at what I could and (while I could be wrong) it seems to be some default formatting that rtf reader programs (word/wordpad) do that isn't actually a part of the actual rtf line.
