Format part of a text string

[Rod]

I'm working on a bibliography and need to italicize the title of the book in
the text string. I want the format to be:

Last name, First name, Title [italicized], Publisher, Year, # of pages.

There must be a way of doing this in Access 2007. Any ideas?

If the biblio listing is part of a report, you can have each of the elements
(last name, first name, title) be a separate field in the report detail.
Each can then be formatted separately.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am storing the information in separate fields.
But I want to string the fields together in a bibliography format. As I
mentioned, I need to have the title italicized. I researched the format
function, but it doesn't appear that this is an option.

I guess my question is how to create a text string where one of the fields
can be formatted separate from the other ones. This seems like such an
obvious need, I must just be missing something!

I don't know if there is a solution, but I would check out
www.Lebans.com

Stephen has done a lot of things with reports that I am amazed about. So
browse his site and see if there is something there.
