I have been trying to figure this out for ages and cannot.  I need some 
help.

I am trying to emulate a standard email address field, where addresses 
can be typed in or selected, and once recognised, they are no longer 
text.

As far as I can see, this is done by replacing the address with a label 
(or something like that) which is embedded in the text at the location 
that the address was.  The question is how to embed the label.  The 
documentation on the RTBox.OLEObjects.Add method is spectacularly 
unhelpful.

Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or articles that they could 
point me too as to how to accomplish this.

Or alternatively, if I have got all of this wrong, could you let me 
know how it should be done.
