    Angry Bolding text

    I am trying to type a form letter. Every time I select a line or text then select bold the entire documet bolds when I only want the selected line or text.
    I am using ACESS 2007. Is there something else other than label that I should be using?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Only Rich Text controls support what you are trying to accomplish.

    You are correct. That means Access does not do what you want unless it is in a Rich Text control which I believe is an ActiveX control in ac2007.

    It is actually native in 2007, though personally I've never used it. From 2007 help:

    In Microsoft Office Access 2007, you can store rich, formatted text in a database. You do this by using a memo field and setting the field's TextFormat property (new in Office Access 2007) to RichText. You can apply formatting to all or part of the contents of the field by editing the field through a bound control in a form, or when the field is displayed in a datasheet. You can also apply formatting to all of a field when viewing a report in Layout View (new in Office Access 2007).

    More info in 2007 Help.
