Use the zoom box feature. Shift & F2 will bring it up manually or use

DoCmd.RunCommand AcCmdZoomBox

On the double click event to automatically open it from the form if the user double clicks.

if you press Shift-F2, there is a Zoom box.
(too slow).
you can create your own if you like.

what is the maximum length of the text
1- if up to 1000 characters and 1 paragraph, then you can highlight it in a new window for correction
2- if the text is longer or several paragraphs, then I prefer a subordinate table (the fields can also be by, but it is more convenient to adjust the line for each paragraph)
---
I have met memo up to 11,000 characters, a paragraph of 5000
is difficult to correct them with one field, it is virtually impossible

One more example :

another modified zoombox.

One more example :

I use it quite often.
the pink zone is a zone for filters for each field (there are 12 of them here), according to the format of the fields, strictly above the fields
, the yellow zone is closed from accidental damage
, the green zone is the zone of the active memo field, for correcting or viewing notes that can be rendered in a subordinate form, then only viewing is here

I use it quite often.

in the subordinate form, you can add fields
1 who left a note
2 when
3 set the sorting of comments to set their subordination

If you teach the user how to use the zoom box, no code is required. If you want to bring up your own zoom box, you need to use the double-click event and either open the zoom with code or open your own custom form and that requires code in every single control where you want to use your custom zoom. I give the customer a choice. Pay me to code or use the free functionality.
