Formatting text in using Report Designer

Hello,

I am designing a report which has some static and dynamic data. The static content is a huge text and I want to highlight certain portions of the text with bold font and in some places with different color.

I am using textbox report item to draft the static text. But unfortunately, I am not able to change the font of a portion of the text. If I change the font, by highlighing some text, it changes for all the text in the text box.

Can you please help to solve this problem?

The bits of text you want to change will have to be treated as separate pieces of data and be in a separate container (ie textbox). Do you know what they are ahead of time? You could try having a bunch of textboxes lined up end to end, and set CanGrow to true - but it would still be difficult to get this looking good.

|||Earlier, I have tried having series of textbox's as in the similar way as you have suggested. And that works.

But I want to do that in one control so that it will be easy to format and gives the flexibility to work on complete text (instead of bits of text) and also align the text as needed.

Is there a way?

Formatting query/view in SQL Server Management Studio (2005)

This may be a stupid question but...
When designing a query or view, I write the SQL visually formatted the way I
like it. But when I run the query in Management Studio, the software
reformats the query into a mess (even though it still runs).
Is there an option or configuration which would allow me to keep the
formatting that I like?
Should I post this in another newsgroup?Yes, use a query window (Ctrl + N), not the query designer?
