In design mode, right- click on the control that contains the title, and select bold from the FontWeight property.

if you're attempting to bold/italicize one word out of an entire text box you're pretty much out of luck.&nbsp;&nbsp;using Reports isn't the friendliest way of creating a letter from an Access database.&nbsp;&nbsp;personally i prefer the old tried and true Mail Merge method.&nbsp;&nbsp;Create the Word document, and then you can open that mail merge document directly from Access and print it out.&nbsp;&nbsp;you can either do the entire recordset, or just one record depending on how you select them.<br>the code is pretty simple, and the result is much cleaner.<br>the code looks something like this.<br><b><br>Dim WordPath, DocPath As String<br>Dim Retval As Variant<br>WordPath = &quot;C:\Microsoft Office97\Office\Winword.exe&quot;<br>DocPath = &quot;Path and name of your Mail Merge Document&quot;<br>Retval = Shell(WordPath & &quot; &quot; & DocPath, vbMaximizedFocus)<br></b><br> <p>Brian Famous<br><a href=mailto:bfamous@ncdoi.net>bfamous@ncdoi.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
