No, you can only define each column to be a text column or an image column. See docs.appian.com/.../Paging_Grid_Component.html for details.

sindhum950 With 19.2, the functionality to include rich text in readonly paging grids has been added: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.2/Paging_Grid_Component.html

Yes, you'll need to change them to editable grids if you need to use rich text

Agreed to what Carlos mentioned above, you need to switch from paging grid to editable grid, if you want to use rich text. 
 
And if you are planning to switch then, you should consider the following points: 
 
1. You need to define every single field as read only, in order to represent this similar as paging grid 
2. You need to implement custom paging, as we do not have the pagination option available for an editable grid OOTB as of now. 
3. You won't have sorting option available OOTB, hence you need to implement custom sorting (using dropdown, icons etc.. If you need that)
