Memo help.

[Lee Taylor-Vaughan]

Hi,

I put a memo field on my form (bound to tblLessons).

In this memo field i wish to be able to cut and past text from MS Word and
keep the formatting from word

i.e.
WORD document is as follows

I. Overview
a) Introduction-Course
b) Introduction-Staff

When cut and pasted in to memo field: (lost its tab and other formatting,
such as, bold).
I. Course Overview
A. Paperwork
1. Local
2. State

and it has little boxes for the tabs (some how it doesnt show the box in
here)


how can i get the memo field to be identical to the cut and paste word data?


thanks

lee

You can't. You would have to use an RTF ActiveX control. Then your memo field would
not only store the text, but all of the RTF tags that define the text formatting.
This would make the data pretty much unusable except for within the RTF control.
