Trim statement in reports

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

I'm using a Trim statement in a report which includes a field name and some
text, such as... Trim([Name] & " you have won the following:").

My question is, is there any way to code the trim statement so that only
part of it is in a bold font and the rest in a regular font. Say, [Name] in
bold and the text regular.

Thanks for your help.

Kevin,
Try 2 fields instead of one. Right justify the BOLD Name, and Left Justify the NORMAL
text.
Butt them up against each other...
The | will represent the edge of the respective field borders...

| Bob Smith| you have won the following... |

This may not work well "within" a sentence, but should be fine as a standalone...

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
| Bob Smith| you have won the following... |
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Al,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was hoping to keep everything left
justified as I do not know how long the [Name] field will be before the text.
It's a good work around though and maybe I can incorporate it.

Thanks again.
