RE: [AccessDevelopers] Bolding a word within a text box in a report

[Tom Oakes]

The native controls in Access are not rich-text - their contents cannot be discretely formatted like a Word document.  You can bold the whole thing, as you know, but not specific portions.  You can get third-party (or maybe MS?) rich-text controls to do this, or you can split your text into separate textboxes/labels, and position them such that you get the same effect.    I can't give you the names of any third-party controls, but I'm sure someone else here can.
