Hi Dragan,

I made it work. I put two fields, first: alltrim(Buyer)+", " in bold, the second FunStr() normal. Both are transparant and start at the same position.
This is the function:

function FunStr
if recno()=1 && first record
     _screen.addproperty("OldFontName",_screen.fontname)
     _screen.addproperty("OldFontSize",_screen.fontsize)
     _screen.addproperty("OldFontBold",_screen.fontbold)
************ Settings for this report
     _screen.fontname="Times New Roman"
     _screen.fontsize=9
     _screen.fontbold=.t.
endif
local lnSpaces, lnFieldWidth, lnSpaceWidth, lcStr
lnFieldWidth=_screen.textwidth(alltrim(buyer)+", ")
lnSpaceWidth=_screen.textwidth(" ")
lnSpaces=lnFieldWidth/lnSpaceWidth
lcStr=space(lnSpaces)+alltrim(Address)+", "+alltrim(City)+", Use "+StateUse
if recno()=reccount() && last record
************ Restore old settings
     _screen.fontname=_screen.OldFontName
     _screen.fontsize=_screen.OldFontSize
     _screen.fontbold=_screen.OldFontBold

endif
return lcStr

Thanks to everyone for the great ideas.
