Enable or disable character formatting in a control

You can enable character formatting in rich text box controls. This lets users who are typing information into the control format their text. For example, they can apply a color to the text or make it bold.

Note  To enable character formatting for a bulleted list, numbered list, or plain list control, the control must be bound to a field with a rich text XHTML data type.

1. In design mode, right-click the control for which you want to enable or disable character formatting, and then click Control Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. In the Control Properties dialog box, click the Display tab.
3. To enable or disable character formatting for the selected control, select or clear the Character formatting check box.
