Q:  In my application I have overridden the Text object methods:

readRichText:atPosition:
writeRichText:forRun:atPosition:emitDefaultRichText.

However, no matter what I try, these methods are never called.  I have also tried implementing the equivalent delegate methods:

textWillReadRichText:stream:atPosition:
textWillWriteRichText:stream:forRun:atPosition:emitDefaultRichText:

but I'm not getting anywhere here either.  What am I doing wrong?

A:  While these methods were implemented under 1.0, they have been obsoleted by replaceSelWithCell: and its associated methods in subsequent releases.  Although these methods appear in the header file and the specification sheet for the Text object, they are never called within your application.
