?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.

You just reposted this in another group. Please do not repost. This 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.

Although I appreciate your attention to detail and the rapidity at which you
jumped on my ignorance of etiquette, in the second post I apologized for
posting twice but I thought that the tabledesign forum might be a better
place to air the question. I guess the same people somehow read both-sorry
about that-I won't do it again.
If someone has an answer, please answer my post in the access.tabledesign
forum. This has been driving us crazy. Thanks!!

The answer, I'm afraid, is that it can't really be done without using RTF.
