Formatting 2 adjacent text fields

[Guest]

I have 2 text fields, (eg author, title) I know I can concatenate them (&)
so they flow together nicely, but I want to have different formatting for the
2 fields (eg one italics, the other bold). I don’t see a way doing as one
Text Box. I can have 2 separate boxes, but then I run into spacing issues,
since there is wide variation in the length of that field in all the
different records. Is there a way around this?

Thanks, Len

The easiest way around it is to make the text box invisible
and use the Print method. For examples, see
