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
