Re: Formated text in text type fields

If you are using Access 2007, you can use a Memo field with what they call "rich text." It stores and displays HTML. (Actually it's a limited subset of HTML, e.g. it cannot display in-line images in the text.)

In earlier versions, you will need to download a special control. Here's one that stores data in RTF (Rich Text Format), not HTML:

Hi.

I need to store html text in text fields. Could be some other field
type, but I can't figure what. I say html but could be some other
format.

I need things like bold, underline, sub/superscript, eventually table
with 6 or 8 cells.

Can it be done (including screen displaying and printing)?

For the moment I don't need any web application, just to store some
formatting together with text.

Thanks
H. Martins
