Formatted Text in Reports (AKA Why doesn't MS Rich Textbox work)

[jaydwest]

I would like to format text in a text field in a Report. For example.

This is a test of my formatting needs.

I understand that MS Rich Textbox doesn't work on reports. I tested them and could not get a bound RichText box control to preview or print.

Is there any way to embed printer formatting codes in a field that will format the printer? I assume it is printer specific?

Any sneaky ways of doing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you thought about exporting the data to Word and using Mail Merge?
