I have set up my form with the form fields in frames (I didn't use tables
because with tables there is no ability to select individual words or
paragraphs if the user wants to cut and paste the text or edit it).

Now my *lovely* users tell me that they want to be able to format the text
by using bold, italics, bullets etc.

I have a macro that unprotects and reprotects the form without losing the
text in the form fields, but when I go to use [for instance] bullets, it
messes up the formatting of the frame.

Is there another way to do this or will the users have to lump it??!!!
