Add format information to text in Memo fields?

[mattsv]

Hello,

In one particular case, I have some text I'm typing in a memo field in my access database. When I do a mail merge, I would like to have that text carry over with formatting information from within the text. I don't want to do the formatting solely within Word, but rather I'd like to put formatting tags, etc into my memo field.

Where should I go to read about how to do this? I don't know if this is "Rich Text" I'm talking about (I searched for "Rich Text Memo" and got many hits) but rather the formatting Word uses.

Thanks!

The Richtextbox control is probably what you are thinking about. Have you considered XML.
