Change a word in a text sentence to italic font

2 New Member
Greetings all..

I hope you guys can help me with this.
I've been doing a database for my microbiology labs, but having difficulties to change a species name into italic font.
Here's what I want to do:

Mycobacterium tuberculosis NOT isolated

Can anybody please help me with this so that ONLY "Mycobacter ium tuberculosis" appear in italic font in database form, and report.

Thanx

To the best of my knowledge, Italics is an all inclusive deal whereas all the Text appears in Italics or all of it does not. What you are requesting, however, may be able to be accomplished via a 3rd Party ActiveX Control, something like the Rich Text Box.

As ADezii said, you'll need RTF capability to format part of a text field (as opposed to the entire text field) and only Access 2007 has a native RTF option for text fields. Otherwise you'll need to use some custom code, and Stephen Leban is the only one I know that has posted such code.

Lebans Rich Text Hack

The only other workaround would be splitting your field into multiple parts, i.e.
textbox1 = Mycobacterium tuberculosis

and

textbox2 = NOT isolated

with textbox1 formatted to display in Italics.

Hi there, In IE, I am trying to govern various style attributes of a DIV tag with javascript. It's no problem doing things like this: 'window.xxx.style.top="100px";' but when I try to change the text alignment with the following: 'window.xxx.style.text-align="left";' .... I get a syntax error probably due to the hyphen.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
