Can we get CTRL-Z (CTRL+Z; Undo) to work properly in an MS Access multiline Rich Text textbox?

In MS Access 2016, I have a bound multiline Rich Text textbox (tbxNote). Not surprisingly, users press CTRL+Z, expecting that doing so will Undo the last change they made to the text in the textbox. What happens is that the last change is undone, but if they press CTRL+Z a second time, all changes to the note are undone rather than incrementally moving back in time through changes to the note. This return to the original content when the textbox was first populated can be devastating if lots of updates to the text were made. Once CTRL+Z is pressed twice, there is no way (that I know of) to get back the changes that were unexpectedly discarded.
