I have a report that requires a line of text that has both normal and bold text. I currently have three labels next to each other, 2 normal and 1 bold. This works fine on my printer, however, we have an HP 3330 which formats the report differently and the labels don't align properly.

I would like to merge the bold and normal text into one control (label or textbox). Is this possible? Or, is there a way to align/shrink/grow the labels or other method that it will work no matter what printer?

Thanks,

Sup,

As far as I know, Access doesn't support this but here's a free solution:

And I think that fmsinc has a version for some $

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the info. I found Leban's RTF control. It seems to only work on forms (I could be wrong), and I need this to work on a report. The solution that I came up with is to create bitmaps of the combined bold and normal text and put them in image controls. It seems to work.

Thanks,
Sup
