DrawString with PrintDocument

Hi,
I'm making a report using a PrintDocument and I need to have some words in
bold, different color, etc in the same line

I think I need to use DrawString every time I want to change the font
properties, but how do I draw the next word in front of the last word I
drew?? how do I know the next X??

thanks,
Bruno

You can use 'Graphics.MeasureString' (inside the 'PrintPage' event handler
accessible through 'e.Graphics.MeasureString') to measure the string and
then adjust the output position accordingly.
