Hi there,

I currently have the following code:

TITLE5 italic j=left underlin=1 colour=black height=9pt "Definition: &def" j=center "Most Recent Observation: &recent"
j=right "Date/Time: &sysdate / &systime";

What I would like to do is have the word "Definition" either underlined or bolded and then the actual definition (&def) not underlined or bolded. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Christy

Hi:
The font_weight of the title is automatically bold, so what you have to do is turn off the bolding (via a style override) for the words you DON'T want bolded. This is using ODS ESCAPECHAR to provide a style override for the piece of the string where you want to turn bolding off.
