Text formatting (bold, etc) part of field entry in Access

[Isaac]

It would be nice to be able to select part of text in a field and make it
bold, italic, etc., or even change its color without affecting the rest of
the entry. I use a subform where I'd love to be able to accentuate a word or
two in it without the whole subform taking on the format.

You will be able to do this in Access 2007.

In the mean time, Stephen Lebans has some solutions:

I downloaded the mixbold-plain text database, but I'm not sure how the format
is being changed. The expression in the report doesn't seem to direct it to
bold anything so does it do that somewhere else?

Thanks.
