I have a field in my table tblCourses. One of the fields in that table, a
memo field, is memCourseOutcomes. So the table contains the courses we have
and that field contains (as suspected :)) the course outcomes but in bullet
form.

I want to use this table's fields in a report but i want those bullets to
show as bullets (indented appropriately).

Now in the table design i see there is an option to change the field to
"Rich Text" - Is that what im suppose to do?
 
IMO, I would normalize the table structure so you didn't store multiple
course outcomes in a single field. Consider creating a relate table:
tblCourseOutcomes
===================
OutcomeID autonumber primary key
CourseID relates to tblCoures.CourseID
Outcome text the outcome description

You could then display this related table in a report detail section or as a
subreport in your report based on tblCourses.
