hello all,

i have a few letters that i've made into access forms. is there any way for a user to edit text (change to bold face, remove phrases, etc.) on such a form? right now, the text is in labels, which can't be edited. suggestions?

thanks,

ap
 
Simply move the text into TextBox controls.

In the Form_Open event have the code set the textBox contents to the standard boilerplate content. Users can then edit the content before printing.

Private Sub Form_Open()
txtPara1 = "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party."
txtPara2 = "The quick brown fox ran over the sleeping policeman"
etc .. ..

End Sub
