Multi font in one field

[scott]

Is it possible to place multiple fonts into one field of an access report?
What I need to do is place some text which is in a specific font (used by
nurseries to show of a unique species of plant) with an existing plant name
which has a font already selected.

I thought of combining two fields with different fonts but when they were
combined it reverts back to one font.

Can anyone help? Is this possible to do?

Cheers in Advance - Scott

You can do this in Access 2007, which supports rich text. (It's HTML
actually.)

In earlier versions, you would need to load a rich text control such as this

Allan - Thank you. This is a perfect solution. I have taken a look at the
link and it's very usefull. In addition to what you've already answered, is
it possible in the field where the OCX looks to combine two other fields?

The two fields would be "Plant" and "UniqueID" found in a form
"frmPlantList" What we need to do is have the one OCX fiels show the two
fields combined, lets say "Plant1 Unique" with Plant 1 being in Bold Ariel
and Plant 1 in Italic Ariel.

I wanted to know if in this scenario you could have in the OCX control
source something like
[forms]![frmPlantList]![Plant],[forms]![frmPlantList]![UniqueID]
and it would see the two fields to give the predefined font formating.

Thanks again. Your advice is alway appreciated!

Hi Scott.

While I have not tested it, I can't see any reason why you could not
programmatically write the Rich Text Format data yourself (either by
concatenating 2 existing memos that contain RTF, or by adding RTF tags
yourself when you concatenate them), and then display it in the Rich Text
control.

Again, be aware that Access 2007 uses HTML, not RTF, for what it calls "rich
text." Therefore if you go with the RTF solution, you may not be heading in
the right direction for the long-term future.
