To enable the field to be filled with rich-formatted text

By default, a text field is set to display and capture plain text. In this case, if the data value associated with the text field includes text formatting information, the formatting is ignored and the data value is displayed as plain text. You can set it so that any rich-text formatting of the data is preserved.

1.	In the Object palette, click the Field tab and select Rich Text from the Field Format list.

2.	In the Binding tab, select XHTML from the Data Format list.
