Formatting Specific Text in a Formula 1

[CrystalUserGuy]

Hi,

I have a if-then-else formula with several lines of text as the response. I would like the first line of the text to be in bold while the rest of the lines in regular font. Is there a way to switch on bold text for the first line using some sort of switch or command similar (in concept) to the carriage return command of chr(13)?

Thx

Dear CrystalUserGuy,

You can use HTML formatting to accomplish this:


Example:

//begin
If {Table.MyField} = "X" then

&quot;<b>&quot; & &quot;First Line of Response&quot; & &quot;</b>& Chr(13) &
&quot;Rest of Response&quot;

else

&quot;<b>&quot; & &quot;Alt First Line of Response&quot; & &quot;</b> & Chr(13) &&quot;Alt Rest of Response&quot;
//end

Once you have saved the formula place in the report. Right Clic, Choose Format/Paragraph Formatting Tab and in the Text Interpretation drop-down choose HTML.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need more assistance.
