Hard returns in RichEdit

Anyone that can help me solve this, I will burn a candle for them at an alter of thier choice and keep a picture
of them by my computer!!! I have tried everything I can think of.... :(
I have 23 richedit controls whose values I wish to append together in a larger richedit field. Each of these
smaller controls have a title generated by me in the final output screen followed by two hard returns then the
contents of the richedit control. No matter what I do, after doing this process 3 times (doesn't matter which
richedit control I use or in what order) all the formatting is lost. Looking at the text equivalent of the richedit text,
it appears to be stripping off all the formatting except for the header and footer.

WHAT IS CAUSING THIS!!!.............*%*&%*&%(%^)!!

If anyone has some example code that does something like what I'm talking about, or knows what is going on,
I would worship the ground you walk on (yes I am at the pathetic stage). Thanks in advance for any help you
may give me..............!

DESPERATE DAN
