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!

The best way to accommodate this is to use a table control instead of
a textbox control. You could split the string into multiple records
prior to getting it into the report. Of course, the table control
should give some basic formatting options by default. Hope this helps.

Format Text?

If I have a paragraph of text in a text box, but I only want to bold a couple words...how do I do that?Unfortunately this is not currently supported directly. You can cobble together multiple textboxes, or try an external solution like OfficeWriter.
