Re: Doc and Rich text together ??

If you store the file in UR, you can edit it in UR. If you link (don't store) the file in UR, it will be read-only in UR's text editor (must be edited externally). However, text files stored in UR will continue be edited/saved in text format and RTF formatting is not allowed. One option would be to copy the contents of the text file (from Notepad or other text editor) into a UR Text item, which you can then apply RTF formatting to.

Is it possible to use both in one database?
Sure.

Also is it possible to have one database that only has Rich text.
If that's all you put in it, sure.

And maybe a related question, if I wanted to have one database that has customised menu's and rich text only how is the best way to do it?
Menu customizations are not database-specific. They are layout-specific, so you could switch to another layout (View | Layout | Layout x), customize the menus, then use that layout after opening a certain database. To have rich text only, only insert text/RTF items/documents into the DB.
