Can't get subscripts to work in Access

[WNY]

I have an access data base that was set up by another user but we can't seem
to get subscripts, superscripts, or symbols to stay. We've used the
character map but found the only way to get greek symbols, etc. is to cut and
paste from Word. Subscripts and superscripts though revert back to normal
font when put in Access. Any ideas??? Please???

Access doesn't support subscripts, superscripts or symbols.

One possibility is to use an RTF control, and store the RTF details.
However, that will make it harder to query the database.

Normal fields do not support rich text directly. You must use an ActiveX
rich text control to enter/edit such data. Stephen Lebans has one at
www.lebans.com - look for Rich Text 2.
