how do I get variating fonts and type on a single access memo.

[Guest]

I am unable to bold or change the font of different words or sentences within
an access memo. Is there any way that I can change individual characters or
words to a different font without changing the whole memo.

The only way is to use an RTF control.

Check what Stephen Lebans has at http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm if you
want to go that route.

If you use Rich Text Box control, you will be able to change characters'
font. You need write code the allow user to select characters in the
Richtextbox control and select font/size/bold.... and if you want to persist
this changes, you need to save/bind the memo field to RichTextBox controls'
TextRTF, instead of Text, property. But the real data in the memo field will
be buried in RTF code and you can only get them back by loading them through
RichTextBox control or other word processing program.
