Formating text in data entry

[shahramsheybany]

Hello all: I am putting together an access database of all the
scientific articles I have collected over the years. As a part of that
I have to type chemical formulas in the titles of the articles.
Example CO2. I need to make the 2 as a subscript, or mm3 with 3 as a
superscript. How do I do that?. I use Access 2000. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Shahramsheybany,

The only way that I know of to accomplish this goal is to use a memo data
type field for your title data, and use a rich text control. Two controls
that I am aware of include:

Stephen Leban's Rich Text ActiveX Control (Free)
http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm

Total Access Memo (Not free)
http://www.fmsinc.com/products/memo/index.html


I have not used Stephen's control, so I don't know for sure that it supports
sub and super scripting, although I suspect that it does just fine.

Thank you Tom Wickerath. This is a little over my head, but I will try
it.
