Formatting text within a text box

Trying to use this tool to create a form letter. I have a text box that has a paragraph of data within that paragraph I'd like to bold a word or underline a word. Is this just a gross misuse of this tool or is there a way to format text within the text box?Unfortunately, Reporting Services alone does not support richly formatted text, such as html or rtf. This is slated for a future release.

In the meantime, if you want to output to Word or Excel, you can use a 3rd party tool, OfficeWriter from SoftArtisans. OfficeWriter

lets you preserve all Excel and Word formatting.

Ian|||I see other references to this being slated for a future release from last year. Do you know ballpark when that will be? Sometime 07 or later this year?|||

Hi Ran,

Can you tell us roughly when RTF feature would be available? In 6 months? One year? We're using Reporting Services extensively. The missing RTF feature is really painful.

Thanks!
