frxRichView contents set font size before print?

I am making a label report for deli items that includes item description, price UPC, and ingredients list.
The ingredients list is a widestring field of up to 1000 characters. This field is tied to a data bound RTF editor to allow user to format ingredients, say to bold any allergens.
I want to ignore the font size in the field's RTF formatting code and print the contents of the widestring in a 6 pt font, so that it fits on the label.
Is there a way I can do this on the RichView OnBeforePrint event? Thank you.

    From ticket 441316: 
    procedure Rich1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent); 
var s: string; 
begin 
s := Rich1.RichEdit.Lines.Text; 
Rich1.RichEdit.Lines.Clear; 
Rich1.RichEdit.Lines.Text := s; 
end;

    The code executed but it did not change the font size of the text. Paul, if you wish, we can correspond on the forum instead of support ticket. I planned to post the final solution here anyhow.

    This code just clear RTF formatting. To set TRichEdit font size do in the Delphi 
    TfrxRichView(frxReport1.FindObject('Rich1')).RichEdit.SelectAll;
  TfrxRichView(frxReport1.FindObject('Rich1')).RichEdit.SelAttributes.Size := 20;
  frxReport1.ShowReport();

    For anyone interested:

    From Support
    You can't to change TfrxRichView font side in the script. In the Delphi's code only 
    TfrxRichView(frxReport1.FindObject('Rich1')).RichEdit.SelectAll;
  TfrxRichView(frxReport1.FindObject('Rich1')).RichEdit.SelAttributes.Size := 6;


    I added TfrxRichObject component to the data module where TfrxReport rxAnyFastReport lives and added frxRich to my units Uses list..
    The report runs but font is not changed to 6 pt. IncludeIngredients is true, breakpoint showed code entered the if block. I will probably
    not use RTF and go back to using a memo object.

    dmPBData.frxAnyFastReport.LoadFromFile(RptPath);
    if includeIngredients then
    begin
    TfrxRichView(dmPBData.frxAnyFastReport.FindObject('Rich1')).RichEdit.SelectAll;
    TfrxRichView(dmPBData.frxAnyFastReport.FindObject('Rich1')).RichEdit.SelAttributes.Size := 6;
    end;
    Screen.Cursor := crDefault;
    dmPBData.frxAnyFastReport.ShowReport();
    end

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
