Adding Word functionality to memo field on form...

[Supynuts]

Hi there, always a pleasure to get completely frustrated with Access or the
internet and come here to get the correct response. I have a form with 3
memo fields to enter information, this information would normally contain
bullet points in its old version that was maintained in Word...when I copy
and paste the old docs into the memo fields the bullets get all out of wack.
I'd like to be able to have bullets entered into the memo fields as well as
run spell check...is this possible?

Thank you

Assuming Access 2003 or earlier, the only way would be if you stored the
data with RTF (Rich Text Format) markings on it, and displayed it in an RTF
control.
