• To apply different font styles to database fields use HTML Tags, and format the field to use HTML Text Interpretation:
      
1. In Crystal Reports, open the report or create a new report.
      
2. Create a formula to and add the database fields you want to apply different font styles, and add HTML Tags for the different font styles.
   Below is an example of a formula that concatenate three fields, and format:
   - The first one with underline, using the html tag: <u>
   - The the second one in italic, using the html tag: <i>
   - And the third one in bold, using the html tag: <b>
         
           '<u>' + {Customer.City} + '</u>  <i>' + {Customer.Region} + '<i/> <b>' + {Customer.Country} + '<b/>'
           
3. Save the formula and insert it on the report.
       
4. Right click on the Formula Field just inserted on the report, and select "Format Field..."
     
5. In the "Format Editor" window, under the tab "Paragraph", set the "Text interpretation" option to: "HTML"
     
    
        
     
6. Click "OK" to accept the change.
