Is there a way to design the text fields in the subform
(or any text field for that matter) so that the text being entered can be
modified in this way?

Not in a standard textbox or table field, unfortunately. The only way
to get such customized formatting is by using a "Rich Text Format"
control, which ends up storing a whole bunch of formatting characters
in your field (along with the actual text); this takes up space and
can make searching or sorting the field a real problem.
