Rich text formatting

I thought that Access 2007 support for rich text would be more useful. I realize it's HTML, and not RTF, which is fine, but the rich text setting on a text box only supports very minimal HTML. For example, there's no support for subscripts and superscripts. I would consider using a plain text box for editing in this application since the html is mostly generated elsewhere and transferred into this db. But I still need to:
a) display the formatted text
b) include the formatted text in reports
c) build Word documents with the formatted text.
I don't see that Access 2007 includes any of these capabilities. Is there any alternative other than 3rd party controls for display and reporting? I have written code to build complicated Word documents with text that includes custom formatting tags, but I was hoping that inserting html text to a Word document would be more straightforward than trapping all the tags and replacing them with Word styles. I would appreciate suggestions for any of these 3 requirements.
