Symptoms

All text is displayed in the cell editor on a single line.

Cause

With the initial release of Microsoft Visual Basic 5, Microsoft began distributing a new version of the RichText control (richtx32.ocx) which does not properly wrap long lines. SPEED Ferret for Access 97 Revision A works properly with earlier versions of the RichText control. But if you install VB5 or any other software containing the newer version of the control, SPEED Ferret's cell editor (a RichText control) will no longer wrap long lines. This will make it very difficult to edit long strings in the cell editor.
