Enter text as bullet points in a textbox? Possible?

[MsLady]

I have a textbox called txtcomments on my form. It is bound to a table field defined as Memo. Now i normally would enter text and produce a report from the comments in my table.

I want to be able to enter text like this in my form, so that my report can be formatted like this: All in one textbox (memo table field).
Like this:

Another quick question:
Is it possible to have multiple lines of text in a table field? My textbox is not allowing that, even though it's a memo field

To answer your second question, change the 'Enter Key Behavior' in Properties to "New Line in Field" - that will allow you to have multiple lines in your textbox.

Not sure if you still need this but you can get the bullet point • by holding down alt then pressing 0149

thanks kempe. I just had the users (use astericks as bullet points) when listing their entries in my form.

It's good to know i can get the bullets by simply doing 0149. thanks here again

You can also enter a NewLine in a textbox by holding down the <Ctrl> key while you press the Enter key.
