I suppose you could do this.... but loading, editing, and maintaining would be a nightmare. I advise storing the binary files to keep fonts, colors, picture files, etc as intended in their original documents. If you would like I can show you how to load the binary files into a table column, but I am still working on getting them out without compromising the integrity of the data. If you are interested, let me know.

Steve

Oh ok, I see what you are saying.

You are talking more about allowing the functionality of having a user be able to underline, bold, italicize certain portions of text.

Hrrmm.... I suppose you could code a form like that in Forms Builder but as far as allowing that functionality goes, I think that's a little out of my league. I'm sure there is a way to code buttons like they have on this page but that is quite an undertaking. I wish I could tell you more, but I think you might want someone with a little more expertise than myself.

Can anybody point this gentleman in the proper direction of some documentation?
