How to save "formatted text"

Is there a way to save formatted text in a database field?

I would like to be able to save text with e.g. bullets, bold characters,
headings etc. in a database field.

I am using Access 2003 - and to my knowledge it is not possible in that
version. But what about the new ones?

No. You can update from lower to upper case or the reverse.
You can update a text field with a different format of datetime data.
You can store your query that formats data on retrival for display.

It's possible in 2003 if you obtain a "Rich Text Format" control - google for
it. It's builtin to 2007 if you wish to upgrade.

But recognize that it's actually HTML in Access 2007, so it may not be able
to do 100% of what's expected.
