Hi all! Using A02. Have a letter (report) with a few
paragraphs that need to have just a word or phrase either
bolded or UPPER case, sometimes both. Now, all I can do is
type text but I have a date inserted and formatted to
print longways. Tried to make m's caps but didn't work.
Tried adding ,">", didn't work.

I have: ="This form MUST be returned by "&
Format([Date Quote Expires],"mmmm d"", ""yyyy")&" etc..."
Would be nice to be able to have "MUST" bolded and the
date [QuoteExpires] capped and bolded.

I hope this is something simple that I'm missing and
someone can shine a light on it for me. Thanks in advance
for any help or advice!!!

Unfortunately there is no way to define bold text within a text box on
a report. There are ways to use RTF textboxes, but that entails
purchasing some 3rd party software (unless you are already a
developer).

The solution used in this case is often automation. You would create a
new Word object, and send the information you wanted into a Word
template letter, which could handle the various font needs you have.

Thought so, but hoped...

Thanks lots for the quick reply. I appreciate you taking
time to help.

So, I guess the formatted date can't be made to print
upper case either?

Thanks!

Actually, no, you can format it as Upper Case. Assuming that you are
choosing a long display format which includes alpha characters.

UCase(Format(Date(), "Long Date"))
