Word Doc Contents into Multiline Textbox

[gi11ies]

Hi

I have a multi-line text box on a form that I paste contents from Word Doc into, and then with a click on the submit button its entered into an Access database, stored in a memo field.

When I retrieve the entry from the database I display it using a Label, and use the Replace command for putting new lines in the formatting.

ie
Replace(myDS.tables("myName").rows(0)("myValue").tostring(), VbCrLf, "<br />")

I am wonder if there is any way I can pick up Bold, Italic or any other kind of formatting that was orignally in the Word Doc and use the Replace command to recreate it on the page?

Any Help Would Be Great.

Not natively if you are just pasting the text into a TextBox, but instead you could upload the word file to the server and then use the word object model to save the contents as html.
