RichTextBox in a word 2003 UserForm do not work after XP-SP2

[Kurt Tischer]

Hy,
I have a Word-User-Form with a RTF-BOX (comes with VisualStudio6 -
richtx32.ocx Vers. 6.0.88.4) which works since 2000. Now with XP-SP2 the
rtf-box is disapeard. How can I get it back? Thanks!

Hi Kurt,

New security measures were introduced over the past year or so that lock
out unsigned activeX controls in Office applications. Most of those
delivered with VB6 were unsigned, I believe. Since you didn't create these
controls, you can't sign them, so basically it means you can't use them in
Office UserForms, I think. A quick search doesn't turn up an article
specifically for Office, but you can start here
