This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
Where is the formating to come from? If it is "plain text" then that implies there is no formatting...

You can paste text into the RichTextBox but it will not be formatted "automatically" - see comment from OriginalGriff.

Once you have applied the formatting you can save the text with formatting to the database by using the RichTextBox.Rtf property
reference information[^]

[Edit]
You can find examples of formatting the richtextbox text at dotnetcurry[^] for example.

Or you could do the formatting in Word before you cut&paste

The rich text box will do the conversion to rtf for you

Well, if I type text directly into the RichTextBox I record in the database without problems. I recorded this way
con.Open
com = New OleDbCommand ("UPDATE MyTable SET Text1 = '" & TextBox1.Rtf & "' WHERE ......)
the problem that I cannot solve is when I copy plain text from word and paste in my richtextbox insert that text in my field database.
I dont know how to convert text to rtf format.
Thanks.

I followed these links and neither of them mention storing formatted richtextbox text into a database!
