Format multiple paragraphs differently in single text box

[mckenneyj]

I'd like to create a textbox with 3 paragraphs.
Paragraph 1 = Bold text
Paragraph 2 = Italic, Bold, Verdana, 12pt
Paragraph 3 = Bulletted list

How would I accomplish this all in a sinlge text box. I am assuming use of the Format function will be needed

Thanks,

would it not be easier to use 3 textboxes ?

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

3 text boxes do not work because maybe I want to underline just 3 words in the 1st paragraph

I guess it depends whether you have a formula or simple text string in there.

If it is a formula then I think you have a problem as I don;t know of a function that will format portions of formulae in different ways. If you think about it, this is quite logical.

If you have a simple text string then you may well be able to manipulate the tags in the rdl file to add the appropriate <b> </b> etc ...

Did you ever find out how to do this? I am trying to do the same thing.
