Memo field Formatting

[Double A]

Is it possible to format text in a memo field to be a bulleted series of
steps? For example:

* Step 1
* Step 2
* Step 3
All 3 lines of text would be in one memo field.

Thanks.

You can format it similar to what you've done here. For more options you
need a RTF memo control which you can get with:

TotalAccessMemo from FMS, Inc.

or a free one from Stephen Lebans website:

I took a look at the sites and they were helpful, except that I do not know
code. I did not see anything to provide the text in bullet format. Did I
miss anything? I was able to save the version 1.8 of RTF but am not sure how
to access it in conjuncton with Access.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Very little code needs to be added, and that should be provided in the
sample. You will need to learn some about adding controls and setting up
code. If you don't have a good book, try downloading Crystal Long's
tutorials which should give you a strong background, and the confidence to
delve into it:
