To specify the data format for text fields

Text fields can save data in plain text only or with XHTML text formatting information included as part of the value. The default is plain text. If you change the data format to XHTML, the Rich Text option in the Field Format list in the Field tab of the Object palette is automatically selected.

1.	Select the text field object.

2.	In the Object palette, click the Binding tab.

3.	Select the appropriate format from the data format list.
