Word-like control

Hello,
I have a form which is supposed to allow the user to enter text into a
text box just as if it were Word - with font, colour, size options,
etc...
I can't find a way to do this by just adding a control to the Form, is
this possible to do programatically? Also, how would I save and display
data that contains formatting information from such a box? Is a memo
field sufficient or should I use a binary field?
I'm using Access 2003.

Thanks..!

There is an ActiveX RTF control in Access, but if Stephen Lebans has taken
the time to write his own, it's probably a lot more user friendly than the
native Access one.
Take a look at the free RTF control Stephen Lebans has at

I couldn't find the ActiveX control for RTF, but the Stephen Lebans
control worked fine so I guess it doesn't matter now. Thanks!
