Answer 5

Hello,

richtext is available inside the "Multiple lines of text" column datatype. So you have to select "Multiple lines of text" and then select type from "Additional Column Settings" while creating a column.

Go to your site -->site settings-->site column-->add-->enter some name-->then select "Multiple lines of text" radio button-->scroll down and select richtext from "Additional Column Settings".

Let me know if i misunderstood you

Answer 6

As Hemendra says, there is a Rich Text facility available within List / Library definitions, where you can choose between Text,. Rich Text or Enhanced Rich Text.

As you've also posted this within the legacy SharePoint forums, one famous editor for SharePoint 2007 was the Telerik Rad Editor for SharePoint.  Thus added a lot of options to the editing experience and is a freebie.

Instructions on how to get started with it are here: -
