Format text box as Bulleted List as default

[Steve P]

In AC2007 I would like to have a text box (rich text format)
on my form automatically format the text that a user enters as a
bulleted list when they begin typing. Currently the user needs to
click the "Start a bulleted list" button on the ribbon before they
begin typing.

I haven't tried this out to see how it would work in practice, but you could
try something like this in the control's GotFocus event:

'------ start of (untried) code ------
Private Sub txtMyRichText_GotFocus

With Me.txtMyRichText
If Len(.Value & vbNullString) = 0 Then
.Value = "<ul><li></li></ul>"
End If
End With

End Sub
'------ end of (untried) code ------
