Old problem StyledTextPrinter

I have spent perhaps three hours looking for a reason StyledTextPrinter no longer works. I found out Microsoft no longer supports it. My question is whether a “simple” workaround exists now as from what I can find, none does. A PDF file seems to be a potential answer, but I’ve read where this is not reliable. Has Xojo given any consideration to the problem?

Can anyone tell me if there is a workaround that I’ve missed and whether an example of how the work around works can be found? Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

this was given on this forum some times ago but I can’t find the exact thread.

I think this may be the thread you are referring to

yes this is the thread.

as of today, if you want to edit styled text I think the best approach is to use HTML editors

and if you only want to display/print them then a PDF is the way to go.
