Yes I have. They work for more simple mailmerging feature. I want to have

something more complicated. For example I want certain parts in the template

to be looped through several times, kind of master detail relationship.

Template Example (uppercase is code fields)

"Your order: ORDER.ORDERID has been processed.

ORDERROW

ORDERROW.PRODID ORDERROW.PRODNAME ORDERROW.PRICE

ORDERROW_NEXT

Total Sum: ORDER.TOTAL_SUM"

For this to be possible I need to loop through cerain parts several times. I

am using this to copy the layout:

PreviewEdit.InsertText(DesignEdit.GetItemText(0));

PreviewEdit is the template (in database) and DesignEdit (edit view) is the

filled richview. The problem is that linebreaks isn't copied. Kind of this:

"Your order: ORDER.ORDERID has been processed.ORDERROW ORDERROW.PRODID

ORDERROW.PRODNAME ORDERROW.PRICE ORDERROW_NEXT Total Sum: ORDER.TOTAL_SUM"

I don't know what I am missing out. I can imagine that I am missing some

styleinfo or using wrong method to copy the text.
