Highlighting Data

I have a database with a column for notes. The notes are a "memo" data type. I would like to have the ability to put part, but only part of a note in bold, underlined or italics. How do I do that?

You can't, at least not with Access' native tools. A Textbox (which
can be used to display a memo field) allows only one font/weight/etc.

What you can do is obtain a third-party "Rich Text Format" control,
and store your memo field in (considerably larger) .rtf format.
