How do I bold one word inside a text box in a report?

[AHamm5534]

I am making a report for a set of people with variable data. The report will
have a sentence in it as follows:
"Your monthly benefit of $1,000 will begin when you retire."
In this paragraph, the number ($1,000 above) will need to be bolded and the
rest of the text will be normal. Is there a VBbold function or a way to write
a vb_bold function to do this?

This is not available in Access as shipped.
You can purchase a RichTextFormat from a third party vendor, or look
at the free one available at:

You can't do this with standard Access textboxes: they don't allow any
character formatting. It's necessary to use a "rich text" control, e.g.
the commercial Total Access Memo from www.fmsinc.com or the freeware
control at http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm.
