Hello! Can you give us more detail about what do you need? If I'm right understand, you want print some words in memofield as bold/italics? My question is about which words must be printed as bold or italic? Is it some preserved words? I think that in this case you should make an prg which going through all lines of memo, check out for preserved words and substitute where it necessarily an printer ESC codes for bold/italic text. BTW, Richtext Format generally used for editing and viewing textfiles. And you may make an text file with your data and allow user do what he what...
