    Question Access 2007 How to make only the field names BOLD and ITALIC

    I am trying to make only the field names in my Access 2007 file. e.g. field names like 'composer', 'date'. I don't want the data cells for these field names to be BOLD or ITALIC, just the FIELD NAMES.



    I have applied 'Memo' to the field, and chosen 'rich text'. But I don't know how to proceed from here.

    We're talking about tables here? Working directly in tables is ill advised, so that would be an unnecessary feature. Excel has cells, Access has fields, so I'm guessing about where you're trying to do this.

    Sorry- I made a typo in the title. Meant to say 'Access 2007 How to make only the field names BOLD and ITALIC'.
    I am referring to a Microsoft Access table, which I am editing in Design View, trying to make the field names bold and italic.

    Well, can't be done. Use forms as an interface and format labels.
