A2007 has new support for Rich Text in text boxes.
Another option may be the webbrowser control, or a native Rich Text
box.

I have an Access report where I use labels for sometimes large amounts of
text. Unfortunately in these text statements occasional words or phrases
need to be bold or underlined or italicized or some combination of these. I
can change the label to a text box but I don't know the correct
Format(texttexttext, "????") expression to use.

Breaking the text apart to format the text boxes separately and then try to
line them up to appear one solid sentence or paragraph causes problems when
the report is printed out on different computers.

I am pulling my hair out here - If there is an expression or elements to an
expression I am missing I will be a grateful student! Teach me! I will even
look at some kind of add-in, though not my favorite.... <note the
desperation!>

Thanks!
