I use the method Ruslan outlines. I generate RTF from this info when 
needed in RB itself. If you store the text as RTF (e.g. in a VText 
field) your search strings will have to account for the embedded RTF 
tokens, objects, etc.

Note: I rely heavily on raw Mac style info, but RS is deprecating 
this. Some day it may go away, to be replaced by something (something 
better than the new style info object, hopefully).
