    Question Customizing list number format

    Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2202 Build 16.0.14931.20116) 64-bit



    I use "Rich Text" fields quite often in MS Access. I often need to create numbered lists. Unfortunately, I can find no way to change the numbering format, or item (line) spacing in numbers lists. Is it possible? I have found scant information regarding it.

    I don't believe it is possible. This shows the code actually used for a simple number list

    whether you can modify it to say

    <ol>
    <li><font color=red></li></font>abc
    <li>def</li>
    <li>ghi</li>
    </ol>

    so the only the number is red, you will have to experiment, but I somehow doubt it

    Having done a quick test, I don't believe you can do so other than manually editing items as you want them e.g.

    EDIT I didn't see Ajax's post earlier. I think I've answered his point about formatting each line in a list differently. That is certainly possible.
    However there is no simple way of modifying line spacing or number formatting unless you do it manually either in the form or table.
