Simple Rich Text Editor for MS Access

106 100+
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a simple text editor available to embed within an ms access application or can one be compiled easily?

Why not store the Templates as OLE Object Fields within your Table? On a Form, create a Bound Object Frame whose Control Source is the OLE Object Field in the Table. Now, double clicking on the Bound Object Frame will Open up your Template within the Server Application that created it, with its Menus interjected with Access. You will have full editing capabilities for these Templates while operating within the context of Access.

Kinda at a loss as to why you would want to do this?

Is the normal functioning of a memo field not good enough?

how do I achieve the formatting features like Bold, Underline, FontSize Etc?

I would like to edit letter templates within MS ACCESS rather importing or exporting to MS Word.

on the least I would like:
BOLD
CENTRE
LEFT
RIGHT
FONT SIZE

Eventually I would like it to be a full HTML editor.

I hope this helps.

Stephen Leban (google him) has a Rich Text editor for Access, but I couldn't get it to work properly if certain Access updates had been installed on the PC.

Access 2007 has built in Rich Text support.

If your looking at letter templates, why not simply create them as formatted reports?

Other then that, I don't know of any rich text editors, and I spent quite a bit of time researching it a few months ago.

Thanks for the info.

I have already created the reports.
But more Templates are created and older templates require modification from time to time.

nevertheless, I shall contniue my search as suggested.

I just changed the title as it was quite misleading.

A simple text editor is a completely different animal from what you're asking about. By definition it would not support any formatting.
