Hello, does anybody know if it is possible to make characters subscript or
superscript in Access 2000 forms? I cann't seem to make it happen for me,
I've tried copying and pasting from MS Word but the superscripts just come
out as normal case, this is quite frustrating...

Cheers in advance if anyone can cast any light on the matter, even if it's
just to say "No you cannot use subscripts/superscripts as Access 2000 does
not have this basic feature, even though Excel, Word and P-Point do"

al.

Access is not Excel, Word or PowerPoint. There are, for instance, lots of
things you can do in Word that you cannot do in Access. And there are lots
of things you can do in Access that you cannot do in Word. Horses for
courses: if differentially formatted text is what you want to create,
display and manipulate, then Word is your tool. You can integrate your Word
documents with Access using, for example, a Rich Text Box control or an
object frame.
 
Or I could just use ASCII code e.g. 'Alt + 0178' gives ²
That might be easier,

Thanks anyway

p.s. I'm not trying to be a really smug smart ass but someone else my have a
similar problem and could perhaps find a simple solution preferable to a more
complex one.
