Formatting individual FIELDS in an EXPRESSION

[CyberNomadd]

Dear brilliant minds,

This is my first post, of course I won't bore you with an introduction, I hope you can help.

This may seem like a stupid question but I can't find a logical way to format individual fields that I have concatenated in an expression. It seems that because it is in one text box it can only be formatted one way. This is a problem for me because I am concatenating about twelve different fields into one text box to create a standardized bibliographic citation. I do not have the option of spliting the fields into different text boxes because many of the fields for each record are not populated therefore they will grow and shrink according to the available data. I did find a post in this forum from a long while ago and it claims that this may not be possible. I was wondering if anyone has stumbled upon a work around for this type of problem.

Thanking you in advance and hoping there is a solution!

Jason

Sorry I forgot to mention the modifications. I am looking to Underline one field and Italic many of the others.

Thanks,

Jason

You would need to use Rich Text to get the formatting like this. You might want to poke around Stephen Lebans site for the absolute best information on this kind of question.
