  textobject has a property called 'htmltags', set it to true.
  
  or
  
  if you're not satisfied, use demo version of sautinsoft.htmltortf
  

  SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf htmlToRtf = new SautinSoft.HtmlToRtf();
  string trial = htmlToRtf.ConvertString("This is a [b]bold text[/b]");
  int i = trial.IndexOf("\\par\n_");
  string result = trial.Substring(0, i);
  
  // in fastreport richtextobject
  Rich1.Text = result;

  Thank you for your help. I decided to try using the RichTextBox Control in Fast Reports and sending the rtf text to Fast Reports with my other data. Instead of showing the formatted text in the RichTextBox Control, it shows the actual ascii information in text form...
  
  The text in my RichTextBox Control looks like this: {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}}
  \viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs16 This is \b\fs16 bold\b0\fs16 text and this is\i\fs16 italic \i0\fs16 text\par
  }
  
  
  I don't see a property to turn RTF on or off...
  
  And the RichTextBox that I'm typing my sample text in is formatting properly and loading previously formatted text properly.
  
  I tried typing my text into the RichTextBox Control in Fast Reports and formatting it manually and this did work, though I can't seem to find a way to see the actual ascii (I was hoping to use this to trouble shoot).
  
  Thank you again for your help.

  Never mind, I figured it out.
  
  While you use the Text property for the Text Boxes, you use the Data Column property for the RichTextBox objects!
  
  What a stupid mistake!
  
  Thank you so much for your help!

  Making a mistake once and learning from it, is never stupid.
  
  And sharing your discovery with others, so they may avoid the trap you were caught by, is an act that should be rewarded!
