I don't know about the examples from the book, but does this apply to your
test program:

In addition to the article mentioned by Tom, I have seen this message
if doctemplate has not been created. Step in the code and debug to
narrow it down.

Hi Tom,
I'm very grateful to you for writing me that hyperlink. There I read that
the reason that appears "failed to greate empty document" is the RichEdit
control is not initialised. I read in the Help about AfxInitRichEdit function
and there is written it's no need to call it , provided we use rich edit via
CRichEditView, CRichEditCtrl or CRichEditDoc. In Edit\Find in Files I found
for AfxInitRich:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MFC\SRC\View
->CRichEditView::PreCreate Window(....)

C:\Progr. Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\SRCWinCtrl4.cpp:
CRichEditCtrl::Create(....)

So, that is in these paths in my project which is named "mdrw" in a
collaboration with the textbook "Learn Microsoft Visual C++6.0 Now",Author
Chuck Sphar. He is a former officer in a Microsoft Corporation.
That's why there no need I have to call AfxInitRichEdit function.
Well, I suppose in the examples of the book could hardly be any mistakes,
but I don't no what I have to do.

I'm very grateful to YOU, Ajay for writing me.

Use the appropriate one:

AfxInitRichEdit2/AfxInitRichEdit

Hi Ajay,
The first requirement of the hyperlink for Afxcmn.h is performed. It exists
in the project. But how do I open mdrw.rc(mdrw is my project) file as text.
*.rc file is a listing and includes the icons, bitmap and so on. There is
*.rc2 file which contains resources that are not editable by the resource
editor in this file. But it's something other than. That's why I can't
change RichEdit to "RichEdit20a". What I have to do?
