Title: Oracle and Character formatting

Hello All,

We want some text to be stored in our database, entered through a Dev6 Form. Is it possible that formatted data can be stored in the database in the form it is written, i.e. with different fonts or special characters or numeric values with power ( 5x10  - where 2 is the superscript of 10, as in MS Word terminologies). If we give MS word as the editor for the Forms entry screen and save the data in any of the above formats, Will the data, when retrieved, be in the same format as it was entered. Or would it convert in ASCII and later display a simple value rather than the formatted one.

Is there any way to do such a thing.

Would appreciate any advice on it.

Oracle 8.1.7, WINNT4
