Default Access cells to HTML

Hello everyone,

I am new to access and have a question that may seem dumb, but I need to
know, so I am going to ask it anyway.

I have a large table of products. That table contains a "descriptions"
column that contains descriptions varying in size from one sentance to
paragraphs with bulleted lists. I need to convert only that descriptions
column to HTML, the other cells need to remain unformated.

I assume this can be done using a macro or built in function, I just don't
have a clue where to find the feature or write the macro. I know nothing
about macros, so forgive me if this is a simple problem to solve with
macros...

As an example, once cell contains:

Here is the production CRKT M4 that you can afford to carry every day,
anywhere. So here you have a friendly work knife that fits the hand naturally
for all kinds of cutting and carving tasks.

It’s simple, with form following function. No tricks that look slick but
aren’t worth a flip in your hand.

This is a non-assisted opening knife.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Blade Length: 3.75''
Length Closed: 4.375''
Overall Length: 8.125''
Weight: 4.6 oz.
Blade Style: Drop Point
Blade Finish: Matte
Edge: Plain
Blade Steel: AUS 8
Rockwell Hardness: 56-58
Locking Mechanism: Linerlock®
Handle Material: Black Zytel®
Bolsters: Stainless Steel
Liners: Stainless Steel
Fittings:
Pocket Clip: R/H, Tip Down
Thumbstud: Ambidextrous



I need to convert that to html so that it will display correcly through a
web browser.


FYI, I have tried the html "pre" tags and they do not work because they will
not allow the text to wrap, therefore, a paragraph makes the screen too wide.

THANKS!!
