Hi,
You'll have to use the VB Printer object to print it, you can't do a huge amount of formting with it but you can open the file and between the file read lines add Printer.FontBold = True
Printer.Print MyTextLine
Printer.FontBold = False

You can also use TAB() as well eg.
Printer.Print TAB(5);MyText1;Tab(30);MyText2

Hope this helps

Regards, Nick
