Create Subsripts in a Access Form Label control

[Guest]

I would like to add subscripts to label control in access form (for tracking
chemicals by formula as opposed to name - e.g., FeCL3 with a subscript 3 as
opposed to writing out Ferric Chloride). Can this be done?

Unfortunately, Access does not support Rich Text Format (RTF). If you want
to have subscripts, you could A: make a separate label with a smaller font
and position that to look like a subscript (you might have to turn off the
'align to grid' functions), or B: use bitmaps. Which is of course a major
PITA.

hth,

While Access doesn't support RTF natively, you can use RTF if you have an
appropriate control in your application.

Stephen Lebans has a free one at http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm or you
can purchase one from FMS at http://www.fmsinc.com/products/memo/index.html

Thank you both for your responses. And thanks for answering a question
posted by a new user; after I posted it I noticed the "New User" discussion
group - should have posted there. Trying to learn by reading Access 2003
bible; about 400 pages in and haven't seen a reference about RTF. For now
I'll use a simple work-around as Nick suggested. After I gain the tools to
develop some of the applications running around my mind I'll be ready for the
discussion with IT about downloading controls to improve the application.
