Use the zoom box feature. Shift & F2 will bring it up manually or use

DoCmd.RunCommand AcCmdZoomBox

On the double click event to automatically open it from the form if the user double clicks.

if you press Shift-F2, there is a Zoom box.
(too slow).
you can create your own if you like.

what is the maximum length of the text
1- if up to 1000 characters and 1 paragraph, then you can highlight it in a new window for correction
2- if the text is longer or several paragraphs, then I prefer a subordinate table (the fields can also be by, but it is more convenient to adjust the line for each paragraph)
---
I have met memo up to 11,000 characters, a paragraph of 5000
is difficult to correct them with one field, it is virtually impossible

One more example :

I use it quite often.
the pink zone is a zone for filters for each field (there are 12 of them here), according to the format of the fields, strictly above the fields
, the yellow zone is closed from accidental damage
, the green zone is the zone of the active memo field, for correcting or viewing notes that can be rendered in a subordinate form, then only viewing is here

I use it quite often.

in the subordinate form, you can add fields
1 who left a note
2 when
3 set the sorting of comments to set their subordination
