As far as can tell, Forms can't do that using its built-in capabilities. However, if you include some Java code, perhaps (but I wouldn't know how to do that).

have you solved your problem otherwise you can handle this easily by using visual attributes in forms 6i should i send you .FMB file if need.

Examlpe

set_item_property(:system.cursor_item,
                           VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,
                           'BOLD');

set_item_property(:system.cursor_item,
                           VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,
                           'ITALIC');

Right; visual attributes. They do help if you want to set the whole item's contents bold or italic or whatever attribute you created, but - how does that solve the requirement, which says this:

Hii whats up

i.e. modifying part of item's contents?
