Rich Text

[Middlemarch]

I have an unbound text box where I've changed text format to Rich text.


It still displays 'normal' text, but if I wanted different colors or italics how might I achieve this? Are there any examples?

Second problem. Google keeps telling me to change the Long text format in the table field? But there's no table for an unbound control and can't find
if a bound table is the only way to have rich text - or if assigning a colour-aware or formatted string directly to the rich text box will work.

Ok I have got somehere. Lloks like I may not need a bound control.

Me.txtEC = "<i>My pet dragon is called Burt.</i>" & vbCrLf & "<b>My pet dragon is called Burt.</b>"

This does bold an Italic but the VBCRLF fails - and I don't (yet) know how to set a color.
Any help appreciated.

The VbCrLf would be a <div>My text goes here</div>
or possibly a <p> for paragraph, or <b> for line break.

Colours:
<font color="#0072BC">single </font>phase

Thanks Minty, I'm working with these <> </> chars for the first time.

Make a simple form with the field on it formatted to Rich Text, and then right click and format to your hearts content.
Then look at the results directly in the table, you will see all the formatting codes.
