Default Format Field in a Text String

When writing a text string, I would like to format chosen words or fields
within that string as underlined or bold. Such as:
="This is text with " & Ucase([OwnerLName],) & " as bold."
But instead of Upper case the owners name would be bold or underlined.

Cannot be done in a normal textbox. You can do it with a rich-text textbox.
ACCESS 2007 has a rich-text feature built in; earlier versions need a
third-party control (see www.lebans.com for his richtext2 download as one
example).
