Allow Rules/Formula Involving Rich-Text Fields

Is this possible? #1 (Rule): If a rich-text field is not empty, then a checkbox’s value becomes ‘True’ #2 (Rule): If a rich-text field is not empty, copy the first few words to a text field Use-case: I just want to know if any of the rich-text fields are populated without having to click on the entity
