how do I use RTF in Acces2007 forms

[xl_prog]

I want to post a text box on an Access 2007 form that permits me to change
font color, or size or bold, so I can indicate state on 5 to 15 lines of
text. Does Access 2007 support rtf, html or is there another way?

The data tab on a text box allows normal or rich text format.

If it's a bound field, I think it has to be a memo, and the field's Text
Format property has to be set to Rich Text. Check the online help to be sure
that's correct. Then as Mike said, go to the textbox's Properties and on the
Data tab se the Text Format to Rich Text. The Access 2007 rich text is a
very modest subset of html. The stored text includes the html tags. It's ok
if all you want is bold, italic, underlined, font face and size, and
paragraph justification, but it doesn't support much more. It's also not so
good unless you're creating the formatting in the Access app. Access only
recognizes the limited set of html codes it uses, so if you create the html
somewhere else, Access may not recognize it. For example, you can do bold as
either <b> or <strong>, fonts can be set in a style attribute or a font tag,
and they don't all work.
