Is it possible to have a rich text field show up in a view column?

  1. Make a computed field in your form of type Text with the formula:@Abstract([TextOnly];500;“”;“FieldName”)

  2. Show the new field in your view column.

The number (500) can go up to 64k, but that wouldn’t make sense in a view…

Sorry Don,

Do I still leave the rich text field on the form or do replace it with the computed text?

Leave it, of course. Otherwise the new computed field doesn’t have anything “to read from”. Just make the new field hidden, so your users won’t bother.
