Formatting
thanks - yes, hyperlinks work as full urls, but is there a way to embed a hyperlink into a word or phrase? Just results in much tidier presentation.
I notice that the window I'm now using to write this post has all sorts of formatting options. Is there anything similar available in Forms?
If not, is there perhaps a list of formatting options along the lines of <bold>this<bold> type of structure?
many thanks,
So ... FormsPro allows you to apply better text formatting like Bold, Italic, Color, Font, Size .....
As for links ... It looks like FormsPro also has link management within section subtitles .. but not elsewhere. I've gotten it to work sometimes .. but it doesn't seem to survive editing/saving consistently. So while you might be able to set something up .. it's unclear if it is permanent.
haven't had the time to figure out why it works and then doesn't. but you can try it.

CYappert links management? I'm not seeing it in section subtitles. Do you have a screenshot?

An additional note that using a URL breaks if it has spaces in it. I understand that is non-standard per the internet world but for internal work related links, file names to say a PDF that used a space in the filename - that won't work 😞
Maybe with the pro version but the free one makes a mess of the link.

CYappert thanks, much appreciated.
Our institution doesn't subscribe to FormsPro, so it's regular Forms for the entire team – except for one new recruit who's discovered he has Pro. Doesn't make sense. Must be a glitch.

More than likely, that user signed up for a FormsPro trial. Really easy to do.
But unfortunately, Regular Forms does not allow any formatting at all.
