Default Multi-line text with formatting in a form

I'm trying to clean up some standard documents in the office and have most of the basics of the form usage handled but I need to create an area that the user can fill in with multiple lines and the ability to format the text - stuff like bulleted lists, multiple returns, bold / italics etc. Is there a way to do this with a form?



If not then I would like to lock most of the text but leave an area that the user can edit.

thanks

I think so. I may have just set it up incorrectly. I'll look into it.

Thanks
