loss of text formatting

[Guest]

When text is entered into a form field, it loses formatting such as bold or
underlining an individual word or phrase. Is there some way to do this
without applying the formatting to the entire block of text?

Access tables do not store formatting at all. Maybe you are talking about
something other than Access and therefore need to post to a newsgroup for
that product.

I am talking about Access and haven't figured out a solution in either the
2002 or 2003 version. There is some formatting in the text field of a form
that can be done, such as bolding and underling, but it is applied to all of
the text and not just a selected portion.

The only way you can do so is to use a "Rich Text Format" control rather than
a textbox. This capability is builtin to A2007 but you must obtain a RTF
control (from Visual Studio or from a third party) to do so in A2002/3.
