Changing the font within a field on a report

[becca5]

Is it possible to change the font within a field on a report when using the report writer? I would like to highlight the occurence of a search term on a report when that search term is found within a memo field. Thank you in advance for any input.

Are talking at runtime? In when your are designing your report?
If it's the second one, modify your report and select the field you want to change and from the menu go to format->font and change the font.

If it's at runtime use two text boxes (one on top of the other ) one being regular font and one being bold and in the Print When put your condition as to when you want the bold one to print, and reverse the condition for the regular font one.

Changing font for part of the text box text? You can do this only by using the RTF and General field. Before report running, prepare the text from memo field for each record as RTF text in General field using temporary RTF file and APPEND GENERAL command. Display content of General field in the OLE/Image report control bound to the field. Vlad Grynchyshyn, MS MVP, MCP

Thank you both for your response. Yes Vlad, I need to change only part of the text in the text box when printing it on the report. I will look into using your suggestion and appreciate you both taking the time to assist me.
