I want to put more information in the Description field for one of my
Setup Types.

It appears to be limit the display to 3 lines. Can that be changed?

Also, the description field has a browse button to link an RTF file,
but the end result is RTF code.... Why?

Yes, no problem. You can create your own custom "Setup Type" dialog (Custom
Wizard Dialog).

I think you mean the "Browse..." button for text resources? This lets you
select a .rtf file for a "text resource". But not all dialogs support .rtf
files.

Thank you.

How do I determine which support RTF and which doesn't?

Hi Paul,

Only if there is a RTF control involved. For example: Readme or License
Agreement dialog.
