I use a feature in Crystal Reports all of the time. The ability to format a field inside a text box.
I just installed 2008 (including all service packs), and began building my first report in 2008, and I 'lo and behold I was not able to change the formatting on my "embedded" field.
When I right click on my field, I see the option "Format {?myText}", but it's grayed out. I've tried many ways to get at it including choosing the option via the Format menu -- also grayed out.
Since I'm not one to trust new releases, I've kept XI on my machine. I opened the same report in that version, and I could change the formatting of the field like I always have.
So, why is the "Format..." option grayed out when I right-click on an "embedded" field?
