Several font format in a text box

[Guest]

I understand that in Access 97 it is impossible to bold only few words in a
text box as the whole text box uses only one font format. However is it
possible in other Access versions to highlight few words in a text box and
for example do a 'ctrl+B' to bold only the selection?

Not without using an RTF control (which is also possible in Access 97, btw)

Is it complicated to achieve that?

It does take a bit of effort.

First you need to download a rich text control. Stephen Lebans has one at:

thanks Douglas,
But see I am very new at this and I was wondering if you could explain me
the step by step of this. I have downloaded the rtf from Lebans' site and
installed it. It shows in the list of the Active X control in the customise
menu of the toolbar. I have tried to just customised a toolbar with the rtf
but it doesn't come on when I view the form. Is there some coding we need to
enter or else.
Tx heaps
