It's a text box - on form load the program populates the text box.

A text box with columns? I'm not familiar with any text boxes that support columns, are you sure you're not using some kind of grid or something?

Red face Wordsearch - Please Help!
I'm sorry, I didn't phrase that properly. On form load, the text box is populated with the letters. I've got the search working left-right and right-left, but I don't know how to search up and down or diagonally. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thank you!

You could load the text into a two dimensional array of characters, so that the array would "look like" the textbox. Then you could search any which way you wanted using the indicies (indecies? ind.... indexes durn it).
