Formatting text

I'm not real experienced with html and rich text but I have been using this formula for showing text with different formatting: "<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>words go here</span>" ...

    np
    you have to end the quotes and use the & which means to concatenate and then restart the quotes.

    "<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>" & [my field goes here] & "</span>"

This may be deprecated HTML... but I learned that you should also have the closing </i> tag...

"<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>" & [my field goes here] & "</i></span>"

little difference, and newer versions of HTML may be able to read it without the closing tag... just my 2 cents.

Instead of using <i></i>, you could add font-style into the style attribute of the span:

"<span style='font-size:12px;font-style:italic;color:#e61515;'>" & [my field goes here] & "</span>"
