It's really not possible with the standard TextBox control. Mixed
formatting within a single control requires the use of a RIch Text(RTF)
ActiveX control. If the originating data is not RTF formatted then it
requires programming on your part to add the desired formatting prior to
display of the data.
Microsoft ships an RTF control with its Development platforms(VB, VC++
etc.). It does not work in Print Preview and does not work at all with
Office 2003.
FMS sells the most fully featured RTF control that works with Access
Forms and Reports for $299 US here:

There is a free RTF control I wrote on my site here:

I need to underline text, not all text, only certain text in a memo
field, i.e. a Formal Name. Is this possible to do?
