Not sure this is the best way to go with this - but could not think of a more applicable title for the post.
Basically I have an access database that has a report for quoting projects/jobs/materials. It all works pretty well...however, I have discovered that the user would like a good way to enter somtimes lenghty text equating to special instructions and disclaimer type information. This all makes sense to me and I understand the desire to be able to do this.
But I cannot think of a really great way to facilitate this. I want to able to use Word type formatiing and have an easy way for the user to open/edit the text - on the fly - preferably without having to go into design view of the report.
It sounds easy, but does not appear to be so - unless I am missing something.
I would think this would be a fairly common issue - wondering what creative things others have done in similar situations.
