Do the following:
Create a text field.
Make it bigger (vertically).
On Object/Field
click "Allow Multiple Lines"
Set Field Format to "Rich Text"
On Layout Palette
click Expand to fit (under the Height field)
Click on Preview tab
Click on the field
Press Ctrl E
This will allow you to enter text changes, bold, italics, indents, justification, etc. Ctrl-B and Ctrl-I also work. Unfortunately there is no support for bullets or autonumbering.
You will also notice that if you enter more text than will fit, you will get scrollbars. If you tab out of the field, it will grow to expand so that all the text is visible.
