Dear All Gurus

Can I use rich text item on oracle form10G with some simple features like BOLD, UNDERLINE, ITALIC and if possible one more feature like spell check.

I Google my requirement, but mostly I found win word attachment.
Further more if I can save this type of data in field then how can I print in report. please give me some hint or reference about both the requirements.

regards

Anwer

You can't.
bold, italic excetera are font properties.
Fonts in forms are properties of the text_items, not the data in the text item.
You can change the font but that just changes the appearance of any data in that particular text item. The font is not saved to the DB and won't appear in any other form or report that queries the data.

And if you set the text item as bold is the data you type into the item saved in the DB as being bold?
Can you query it in a different form, or a report, and have it automatically appear as bold with having to use set_item_property?
No?

Cause that's what the OP wants.
