Bold within a field???

[Guest]

I'm trying to bold specific text WITHIN a field. Any tips?

 

[Guest]

Bold just a portion of a field? where is the field? a report?

Actaully both --- But I was referencing the field in the table so that
fomatting would transfer into the report. I need to BOLD a few words within
a sentence that is populating a field.

Thanks.

David -

Thanks but I'm missing something. I opened all 3 db's that were to
illustrate how to mix bold and plain within a control or on the same line.

Lady was the the only one I saw mixutre of font styles in the report, but
could not see anything to see how to do it.

I really want to enter the data in the field formatted WITH THIS PHRASE IN
BOLD and the other text using a regular font.

BTW -- you've got a great site there and I will reference it often.

Mike,

It's not my site, but I would be proud if it was!
-- in fact it is, without doubt, the reference
site for this kind of information.

You need to look at the RTF stuff in the Forms
section. I think the RTF stuff can also be used
on reports, but I've never tried it.

The RTF controls and code allow you to save and
display text in Rich Text Format.

The three reports you were looking at were samples
using the Print command of Access reports to Print
text on a report. They print inside the space of a
control, using different fonts, but have to be told
which bits to print in which font. That works for
fixed format reports, but for randomly formatted
stuff you need something like a Rich Text control
