Is there a way to embolden certain portions of text
within an Access report? We have created many reports to
function as letters and would like to set some phrases
in "bold" type. Can it be done?
Thanks! Georgann

I may not be understanding your use of the word "report", but I believe you
can select a textbox and set its property to "bold".

If you wish to only have the text bolded when certain other conditions
obtain, you'll need to add code to the OnFormat event of that section. Your
code will evaluate the value, then set the "bold" property.
 
THis functionality would require the use of a Rich Text ActiveX control.

Unless you use a Rich Text Box, as Stephen Lebans suggests, you'll need a
separate control for the Bold words and the regular words. In any case, it
can be tricky to line these up. If the lengths of either section can
change, it gets a lot trickier.
