In a report I have a text control which takes text from
different fields in a query:

=[Name] & " " & [FamilyName] & " (" & [Address] & ")"

I would like to print name and family name in bold and
address in normal font. Is it possible?
 
Not really. Stephen Lebans has a technique at
http://www.lebans.com/mixbold-plain.htm but it only works for specific
circumstances (IIRC, it only works if the text fits on a single line, so
you'll run into problems with long addresses).

You could try a RTF control, but they are more work.
 
As you have the expression written, you cannot format a part of the text
differently from the whole. Access does not offer that capability.
