Add*** methods with FirstParaNo parameter = -1 appends text to the previous

paragraph.

But FormatTail requires that the next item after the last (previous)

FormatTail (or Format) is added from the new paragraph.

So call

richview1.AddTextNL('John says:', stylenumber, para_stylenumber,

para_stylenumber);

richview1.AddTextNL('Hello !!', stylenumber, -1, para_stylenumber);

richview1.FormatTail;

I assume that message text cannot contain line break (CR LF) characters, so

you can use AddNL and Add:

richview1.AddNL('John says:', stylenumber, para_stylenumber);

richview1.Add('Hello !!', stylenumber);

richview1.FormatTail;

para_stylenumber is an index in the collection RVStyle.ParaStyles, >= 0.
