Label Control - Caption Text Format

Hello,

I have a Label control on a report. The caption of the label is two
sentences. I want to change the text format to italics for a couple words in
the caption, while leaving the format for the remainder of the words
unchanged.

Is this possible?

I could have a Text Box control with the text in the Control Source, but
again I don't know how to change the format for only a couple words (are
there character codes to do this?).

Thank you.

You cannot have different fonts, font sizes, etc. within one Access
control.

Depending upon what you actually want to do, you might get by with
using two different labels, each with it's own formatting, and place
each one in the appropriate position over the other label. Something
like this:
Label1:
LARGE FONT
Label2:
this is a positioned over a smaller one.

Placed together:
this is a LARGE FONT positioned over a smaller one.

Also, see

for a free Rich Text Format control which may be suitable for you as a
text control.
