Re: Formatting in memo fields

No, the text box in A2007 has a new property that can display a sub-set of
HTML tags as rich text. The text box in previous versions could not do that.

As Larry says, you can get an add-in to use in previous versions. However,
my recollection is the Stephen Lebans' control (and most of the others) use
RTF (Rich Text Format) to store the formatting, not HTML tags like A2007
does. So an A2007 text box would not display the formatted text correctly,
unless you use the ActiveX control in the new version also.
