I want to bold the Text "Sales" and "Area" when it gets displayed in the Report

You can't apply multiple font / display properties on a single object in Crystal. You're best bet is to use separate label objects for "Sales:" and "Area:".

You can do this using HTML.

Right click and select paragraph formatting and use HTML to format it however you'd like, purdy slick...

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info synapse, that's a handy tip to know!

Dear prakashroch:

The html formatting tags must be enclosed within quotes.

You can start and end the tags in different text strings.

Here is an example using your formula:

&quot;<b> Sales: </b>&quot; + {?Selection1} + &quot;<b> Area: </b>&quot; + {?Selection2}

Also, be aware that once you implement html formatting you lose your font style and will have also have to supply that in the formatting.

A lot of tags work. Any tag that you would usually include in quotes, leave off the quotes. You will know when a format tag doesn't work because Crystal will display nothing!

Hope this was helpful,

Prakashroch,

You could hit the 'Insert Text Object' button, type 'Sales: ' in it, and then drag your database field into the text field adjacent to your typing. Repeat the same again for Area.

You can then highlight individual contents of the text object to format them individually.
