[AccessD] gobbledygook

I did a little editing using the toolbar editor.  The following is what I
ended up with displayed in the text box.  I changed the first word font,
and just for fun changed the background of the word 'another' to yellow.

This is yet another FONT test

I copied that into the paste buffer, then pasted it into Wordpad.  I saved
it into a file.rtf, which I then changed to file.html.  I then opened that
with chrome.  It did not render it, but instead displayed the following.  I
plead ignorance but i am guessing CSS?

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\nouicompat\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0
Engravers MT;}{\f1\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Impact;}{\f2\fnil\fcharset0
Calibri;}} {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue255;\red255\green255\blue0;}

\highlight2 another\highlight0 FONT
test\cf0\ulnone\i0\protect0\f2\fs22\lang9\par }

The next question is, did it get translated into CSS (if that is what it
is) in Wordpad?  Or isv this gobbledygook what the toolbar editor in Access
actually wrote into the textbox renderer?

Not that it makes any difference, I am not going to create that
gobbledygook programmatically anyway.  I was just hoping it was still HTML
that I could mimic.
