Hi,

RTFData is just text. Here's a quick example I generated from a TextArea:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg256{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Lucida 
Grande;}}{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;}\uc0 \ql\f0\fs24 this is a 
test}

I'd store that in a VText field. Then you can set the TextArea's (or 
EditFields) StyleText.RTFData to whatever you stored in the Valentina 
VText field.

If you want to stick with TextStyleData, you have to write a 
converter. I have done that for my own purposes. Since this is the 
Valentina list (not the RB list), I won't post it. But if you want 
it, contact me off-list (jda at his.com).
