No, this is not possible. See my response in the other thread where your
question was re-posted.

Only forms can have a "multiline with formatting" text control.

The text entered into such a control is not bound to any underlying
field of a database table, and so can not be stored in the database.
Basically, such a control is only any good for informational purposes
for the user of the form.

If you are using LibreOffice on OSX, even the change of attributes
functionality doesn't work (bug).

I suspect that what the original poster is looking for is the possibilty
to type text strings into memo/longvarchar type field and then
selectively enable the bold or italic attributes, as apparently one can
do in Access (or in other DB GUI frontend software).

Unfortunately, whilst this is possible in Base if you change the
properties of your text field to "Multiline with formatting", nothing
you write in that field will be bound to the underlying data table :

- additionally, this doesn't even currently work on OSX (bug), i.e. the
attributes show no visible change, even if they are chosen from the
right mouse button click context menu when selecting a typed-in word;

- any text that is already present in the underlying table to which the
text field control was previously bound will become invisible ;

- as the text data which is newly entered or modified is not bound to
the field of the corresponding data table, it can never be written to
the table, which means that closing the form and then re-opening it
results in the loss of any data you might just have entered - at least,
this is certainly the case on OSX (having just tried it).


All in all, a pretty useless feature, except perhaps if you just want
your form to contain some bold or underlined formatted text, e.g. as a
warning, general information, or other reminder, to the user of the form.

The whole notion of "formatted fields" is hopelessly underdeveloped in
Base. Oh, and did I forget to mention that it doesn't work on OSX ;-) so
its not even cross-platform compatible, meaning that you can't swap with
your colleagues and friends on other OSes and expect to see the same
thing - magnifique, non ?

Set-up your requirements in your Form ..

Select Form (Right-Click) Edit
Control-Click on any Field
Then Double-Click on the highlighted Field to display Properties
Select Font Style as required. Save Form

Open in normal mode and whatever you enter in the field will have the 
Italics and/or Bold that you selected above.


Hope this helps

Hello,

I´m a Libreoffice user and I´d like to use italics and bold in Base. Is it
possible? It would be so important to me.

I'm sending a print screen about my question. This is what I´d like to do,
and I'm doing it with Writer without problems. It have regular, bold and
italics:



When I copy and paste it in BASE this is the result:



And I can´t do it directly in BASE anyway... What could I do to use it?

Thanks,
Antonio Canela.
