  That's covered in the Text object documentation.  

  The scrolling text IS an rtf object.  You can turn on the rtf
  capabilities with a setMonoFont:NO message sent to the text
  object (which is the docview of the scrollview).  With that
  message you can do all the usual selecting and font reseting
  if you drag in the font menu. You can get spellchecking and
  an online dictionary by dragging in the services menu.

  You can get graphics into the text object, but that takes a little
  more doing.  The graphic object usually is a subclass of Cell.
  It has to respond to several messages, specified in the docs.
  You place it in the Text object by sending a replaceSelWithCell:
  message.
