Hi,

Yes, these effects are not supported directly.

But all of them (except from small caps) can be implemented using custom

drawing (OnDrawStyleText event).

Small-caps effect is problematic because it requires changes in formatting

routine (transformation must be applied only to lowercase characters).

And I do not know yet how to implement Outline correctly, but some

approximation is possible.

The latest version (available for registered users) has a possibility of

changing classes representing styles, so you can add your own properties for

these effects and use them in conjunction with custom drawing (in case if

you are a registered user, here is a demo:

http://www.trichview.com/support/files/neweffects.zip).

All new properties will be automatically saved/loaded in files in native RV

format (RVF).

There is also an event allowing to save additional information in RTF. You

can use it to save these effects.

There is no way to import them from RTF, though.
