rich text memo field

[jedder18]

Creating a report.
In a label I want to be able to format certain words.
I've created a rich text memo field in the table.
My question...
Do I need to put the text into the table and drag onto the report design form
or
Can I just select the empty memo field from the table and place on report then type in the text?
The formatting option doesn't seem to work either way.
It's formatting the entire box.
All places are set up for rich text.

Forgot to mention..

You need to change textbox property: TextFormat = Rich Text.

Hope this is what you need!

Have you tried just using html markup within the memo field?

<b>Label Title</b> for bold, etc.

I have not tried the html, but, definitely will give it a shot.
Thanks much.
