Using Bullets in Access Forms/Reports

Is it possible to have users utilize bullets in a text or
memo field on a form? We are creating an "after action
report" and would like the users to be able to list items
so that they can be easily read. Ultimately, we would
like the report to be legible. Currently, we have one
large text box for data entry on the form, but would like
to have it formatted somehow.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

You would have to use a third party ActiveX control for handling Rich
Text. None of the native controls will handle formatting characters like
tabs or bullets.

You could simply use a mono-spaced font and then choose a character to use
as a bullet (>) or (*).
