Some pros for TRichView

- better support of tables (as far as I know, WPTools does not support:

nested tables; multiple paragraphs in table cells (try to make one line

centered and one line left-aligned in WPTools' table cells, or try to create

a bulleted list in table cell); vertical cell merging; vertical cell

alignment; background pictures. All the listed features are supported by

RV);

- Unicode support;

- Delphi components in documents;

- I am not sure here, but it looks like bullets/numbering is more flexible

in TRichView (can WPTools create a numbering like:

1. ****

1.a. ****

2. ****

2.a. ****

2.b. ****

- more visually attractive components for creating user interface

(RichViewActions - http://www.trichview.com/resources/actions/)

Some pros for WPTools

- WYSIWYG editing (you can see page size in editor; in TRichView, page size

can be seen only in read-only TRVPrint)

- tabs (RichView does not support tab positions yet)

Some things that I recommend to look at:

- quality of RTF and HTML import and export (I am quite proud of TRichView

in this field)

- convenience of programming interface
