How can the user of the database highlight some of the
text in a descriptive section and make it bold? I have
tried to get the formating toolbar on the datase but the
italic, bold and underline features are disselected...

Click to expand...

You can set those properties for the entire contents of a control, but not
for parts of the text within the control, using Access built-in controls.
For more control over data display you need a "rich text control" -- one is
available with the Developer Edition of Access 2002 and earlier and with the
Visual Studio Tools for Office System 2003, for fee from various third
party, and a free one by MVP Stephen Lebans can be downloaded from his site,
