Merging formatted text boxes in MS Access
Hi All,
Is what you see in the first image below possible in MS Access? (See first image below, right side!) My goal is to merge multiple formatted text boxes into a single, coherent paragraph while retaining their distinct formatting. The software TLex exquisitely accomplishes this task as you can see.
But let’s look closer at what’s going on. On the left side, you have a data entry box where users can enter: definitions, translations, example sentences, notes, etc.
That info is then displayed on the right side of the screen. Notice how the styling, coloring, and formatting are all preserved. The text is not simply compiled into a list! It flows one sentence after the other, forming a coherent paragraph. THAT is what I’m trying to achieve.
I did make an attempt. The image below titled “My Version” clearly shows where I fell short. Yes, I maintained the text box formatting, but I was not able to get the text boxes to form a coherent paragraph. I also tried string concatenation, but that method does not preserve any of the text boxes’ formatting.
So, has MS Access met its match? Can MS Access get text boxes to merge together while preserving the text boxes’ individual formatting and form a coherent paragraph?
Hopefully, you can help. Look forward to your suggestions. Thanks in advance!
