Default ?How to put formatted text in Access

We are putting together a Question and Answer database but need to put
formatted text in the fields (super/subscript, italics, different fonts,
etc). Previously we used the activex rtf control but this was problematic in
that it would export to a text file with each field being a distinct rtf
file. What is the best way to store formatted text? Something besides rtf?
We definitely do need a database as we have thousands of questions - each
with about 8 fields.
I also posted this question in access.gettingstarted but it looks like this
may be a better place. Sorry for the double post.

Robert:

You already posted this in another group 30 minutes ago. Please do not
report. Thsi means that two separate people will spend time posting answers
while unaware that someone else may have already responded in another group.
That wastes the time of the kind folks who volunteer their time here in
these newsgroups.
