Enable or disable character formatting in a control

Enabling character formatting for the selected control lets users format the information they enter when filling out a form. For example, enabling character formatting lets users apply a color to text or make text bold.

Note  This option is only available for rich text box, bulleted list, numbered list, and plain list controls. In order to enable character formatting for list controls, the data type these controls are bound to must be rich text XHTML.

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.
