can anyone suggest an editor component like RichEdit that supports embedding photos in a delphi app? RichEdit doesn't seem to support this.
am not considering embedding MS Word since not everyone would have that.
than you for your help!

I recomend TRichView http://www.trichview.com/.
I did work with WPTools for long time, but recently I found TRichView a lot more simple to use.

+1 - tRichView works very well, and you can continue to use the RTF file format if you so desire for added flexibility. – skamradt Mar 07 '09 at 00:48

thank you--that sounds like a great way to go! – X-Ray Mar 10 '09 at 17:32

AFAIR the TrxRichEdit from rxlib supported embedding pictures. Since rxlib was incorporated into the jvcl, I guess TJvRichEdit should as well.

interesting--i just tried it & it actually works! next i'd need to figure out how to serialize that so i can save it in a database. thank you! – X-Ray Mar 10 '09 at 17:49

I think it should work when you insert bmp files. Other image files are not supported. Maybe you can convert your images to a bitmap first?

thank you for your suggestion. i never did figure out how to do that except maybe with inserting objects. in our case we need something more powerful. – X-Ray Mar 10 '09 at 17:34

If you don't mind paying for a component library, I recommend WP Tools. They have extensive support for document formatting (including inserting images) and provide their library as native VCL package (so you don't have the "what version of Word" conversation).

i don't mind at all; 3rd party components are generally an excellent solution for situations like this. thank you for your comment. the "what version of Word" conversation is definitely a conversation i don't want to have! – X-Ray Mar 10 '09 at 17:51
