How (if possible) can I add bullets in a memo field?

[BrazilTechie]

Hi all:

If I have a field which is of type Memo and use it in a form, could I add bullets and tab stops inside of it?

Any comment will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Not easily. a MEMO field is not a Word document. It doesn't readily accept bulleted lists, tabs, font changes, sections, paragraph marks, tables of contents, headers, footers, tables, multiple columns, or any of that other good stuff.

However, depending on what system font you use, you might be able to stuff a bullet character in there - find out what ANSI character it is, and hold the ALT key down as you enter the number.. for example, ALT+220 yields ¨{ and ALT+221 yields ¨„, which on my computer are a small horizontal and vertical rectangle...

Whether or not they'll retain their shape is unknown.

Jim Me? Ambivalent? Well, yes and no....
