    Question enhancing text when writing an outfile


    I'm trying to write out a text file via vba. I can get all the data out and printed but I would like to know if its possible to enhance the data. By that I mean change the font size, bold the text and change where the data prints in the outfile.

    not in a text file.
    yes in a REPORT, that prints to a pdf.
    yes in a WORD doc, but lots of programming.

    if it is a text file, then that is just plain text, codes are not included for bold, font size etc. You would need to output to a word document, html file or similar. Never tried it but you could try exporting as a rtf file.
