I have to bold the text in square brackets and if possible remove square brackets.

Create a formula to replace the field:

if instr({table.field},"[") > 0 then
"<b>"+replace(replace({table.field},"[",""),"]","")+"</b>" else
{table.field}

Then right click on the formula->format field->paragraph->text interpretation->HTML text.

Thank Lbass,
There are no question marks on the above text.
I copied and pasted the text.
 
You still have not identified the issue, but let me guess--the returns have been eliminated and you want them back in? I don't understand why you are showing the question marks. What character is in that position? A space?

I think I see now. I didn't realize that what you were showing me was all one instance of the field. Try the following instead:

replace(replace(replace({table.string},"[","<b>"),"]","</b>"),chr(13),"<br>")

Be sure to format it to HTML Text interpretation. If that doesn't work, replace chr(13) with chr(10).

Thanks , even I was try the same way,
Any how Thank you very much , it works.
Once again thanks
