Hi, if you have two fields that you have concatenated in the one text field, can you style each, separately using styled sheets? If so, what's wrong with this eg: <style isBold="true">$F{FULLNAME}</style> + "n" + $F{TEACHER1} Any assistance welcomed. Have checked iReport manual and Ultimate Guide with no luck. This doesn't work either: "<style isBold="true">" + $F{FULLNAME} + "</style>" + "n" + $F{TEACHER1} It runs but style text is ignored getting this error: [Fatal Error] :1:36: The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. 20366515 [Thread-418] WARN fill.JRFillTextElement - Invalid styled text.
