Hello,

Let me see if I understand your questions correctly. You would like to
change some text boxes to rich text boxes, and the data you have stored in
existing forms (through text boxes) should now be displayed in rich text
boxes.

To do so, open the form in the designer and:

1. Click "View >> Data Source"
2. Now right-click the data field corresponding to your text box and select
"Properties"
3. In the resulting "Field or Groups Properties" window change the "Data
Type"  to "Rich Text (XHTML)"
4. Click "OK"
5. Now right-click on the text box on the canvas and select "Change To >>
Rich Text Box"
6. Save the form

Thanks,
Frank
