I have written a formula to give a disclaimer message if a field in SQL is true (1). Within the message there are two words underline

e.g.
"* The delivery exception is based on a delivery receipt notation and not necessarily indicative of the shipment's actual or final status."

Is there a way to only underline the two words when the message is displayed. I put the formula on the report and tried to underline by selecting font format but I am having trouble coming up with the proper verbage.

Thank you in advance.
 
Dear TomR100:

The answer is HTML formatting:

Do this:

In your formula do this:

"* The delivery exception is based on a "
&
&quot; <u>delivery receipt </u>&quot;
&
&quot;notation and not necessarily indicative of the shipment's actual or final status.&quot;

After placing the text in the formula as shown above,
right click on the formula field and under the Paragraph formatting tab - Click text interpretation and select HTML.

Alot of tags work here!

Rule: Tags must be inside the &quot; &quot; you can start a tag in one text &quot; &quot; range and end in another. But they must be inside the text indicators (&quot;&quot;)

Hope this helps...
