How to change color of a word inside a long text field?

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.- Thanks a lot. It is solved.
When I read your first post, I thought I should impose those changes in Table view. In your last post, you thoroughly write that I should impose those changes in Form Design view.
Now in addition to answering my question, you thought me that Table properties is different from Form properties. Now that is solved it becomes very apparent but with this informative post, I think I will never forget this point.
This is the beauty of forums where you learn by real question and it becomes perpetual. I will never forget it and that is what I love about forums/
Arnel thanks again.
