How to change color of a word inside a long text field?
In a Table, I have two long text field. I think they called note in older versions of Access. I use a form to input data into this two fields. In one of them, when I change the color of a word inside the field, it accepts, but in the other it doesn't accept.
I'm wondering why Access should act differently for same action (changing the color of a word inside a field) in two different field. This is an old database I have designed for English language learning purpose and it is quite an old one. I don't remember if I have changed other settings for two fields.
- you can add Color to your text field if it is a Memo (Long text) and the Text Format property is Rich Text.
- Thanks. That worked like a charm.
- I find the place you mentioned, that is
Table Design/General tab/Text Format and choose Rich Text
and I saved that, but when I returned to form, still it doesn't show the menu to choose the required color. What step am I missing?- bring your form in design view and click on the Textbox you need to put color.
on it's Property->Data->Text Format = Rich Text.
save your form.
when you open the form and on the "the Textbox" go to ribbon->Home->Text formatting to choose a color.
