    Set Textbox Default Value

    Hello all. I have a form where I need three paragraphs of text. The same text every time the form is opened. I would use a label, but I need to have some text bolded and indented, so need to use rich text formatting. I have attached a scan of what I am needing. Is there a way to have this text and formatting be default?

    The report would be various label (or text box). Some formatted normal, some bold , all positioned to look like a formatted paragraph.

    Bummer. I thought that might be the case. That makes it a little harder if anything ever changes and needs to be updated.

    Respectfully disagree. Given your example, I'd say you're dealing with a memo (now called long text type) field. As long as you format your form control to Rich Text (property sheet > data tab) and the table field is memo, and the Text Format (not Format) table field property is Rich Text, you can alter font characteristics. Note the combination of red, blue, bold and font size formatting:

    This capability has been available since at least version 2007.
