Rich Text Binding to Secondary Data Source?

[BillT]

I'm having a beastly time adding a rich text box to my form. We have a
schema for the form that I don't want to change and I need to have a rich
text box to show some specially formatted text, but I can't figure out how to
add the box to the form. I figured a secondary data source in the form of a
flat xml file would be the ticket but I have no idea what the xml for a data
source that could be bound to a rich text box would have. I tried creating a
dummy form in infopath with a rich text box, exporting the form files, and
then creating secondary data sources from all of the resulting xml files, but
I couldn't bind the box to any of them. This data source is a total hack
because I just need to display some formatted text based on user input but
it's the best I can come up with. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

BillT,

I submitted a similar question yesterday. There are some posts dealing with
rich text, but they don't seem to shed much light. There are obvious
limitations, but it would be nice to have a link or message that concisely
explains what can be done with Rich Text imports.
