	if this is all in a one datafield, no, you can't. you could probably break it up using a formula, then you could bold different sections.

	right click on 'formula fields', select new, give a name, in this case, say, FirstHalf uses VB6 syntax, so if you know what makes the first line end say it is a comma you would have something like: left({table.itemDesc}, instr({table.itemDesc}, ",") - 1) this would find the comma, go back one character and display the left x characters in the {table.itemDesc} field HTH
