Bold Part of String in Crystal Reports

I have created the following formula in crystal reports: "Issue: "+{Issue.Summary}+"  Action: "+{Issue.Action}.  The formula puts the labels of the items in front of the string.  I need to bold the words Issue and Action so that the reader can see where the new thought begins.  I cannot figure out how to bold just the two words Issue and Action.

Also, it is possible to create a new paragraph in the formual for action.  The length of the summary can be different for each individual issue.  That is why I built the formula to concatenate the two items together.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Your right.  I thought it had to be full html not just using the commands you want.

Thanks.

how come the html format is not working? i tried it, still didn't get bold
I forgot to have you turn on the format interpretation

Right click the field
Click FORMAT FORMULA
On one of the tabs you can set it for HTML interpretation
