Revelation,
I decided to try the OLE example used in the new help file: Microsoft Rich Textbox Control.
On one computer (Win XP, Excel 2000) I couldn't find the control from the VB Editor, or in the registry. (The OCX file was present in the Windows/System32 folder, though.) On a different computer (Win 2000, Excel 2000), when I tried to put the control in a VB Form, the VB Editor said it wasn't properly licensed.
All of which makes me think the Rich Textbox Control isn't the best example to use in the help file.
I see there's a different example in the PDF file.

Right you are Oystein.
I used Richtext because it is a straightforward, useful control.
Apparently I've also demonstrated that OLE controls are thrid-party controls, and that using them means one must pay close attention to distribution and licensing requirements.
I'll improve the example to use a properly distributed control
