Help Needed!!

Hello,

I have an input field that inserts data into an oracle table. The users
of the system will be composing the data that goes into this input field
in Microsoft Word.=20

They will also be using Microsoft Word formatting features.

1. Is it possible for my input box to retain the formatting and if so
how?
2. Can the Oracle database store this type of formatting?
3. Can the data and formatting then be extracted in XML

Thanks,

David

Forgive me for saying this, but you should be posting this to the Oracle
mailing list, not here.

1. yes, user a rich text editor plugin in you web page
(http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/ is one such beast)

2. sure, in a text / blob field

3. yes, but likely you'll need to do it as CDATA
