Here is an example of implementing fields:

http://www.trichview.com/support/files/livelink.zip

Fields in RichViewEdit are updated when Edits changed and vice versa.

It has the following functions:

procedure SetFieldValue(rv: TCustomRichViewEdit; const field, value:

String);

function GetFieldValue(rv: TCustomRichView; const field: String): String;

procedure TForm1.InsertField(const field, value: String);

(these functions can be implemented more efficiently if you'll set or get

values for multiple fields at once)
