Hi Aditya,

I am not sure if this is much help to you. I do not know how to script what you are looking for.

However you can change the field format for each of the textfields. In LC Designer 8.2 select the textfield and go to the Object / Field window. Then change the Field Format from "Plain Text Only" to "Rich Text". When using the PDF form, you can change the format of the whole textfield or individual words. For example "Control + B" will give you bold text, "Control + U"; underline, "Control + I"; italic. When a field is active you can press "Control + E" and this will allow you to change the font type and size, etc.

If you are using an earlier version of LC Designer, then you have to make two changes in the Object window. From memory one is in the Field tab and the other in the Binding tab.

Good luck,

Niall

I'm having the same issue. I'd like to have a single word bolded, and I need to accomplish this using a script. I can find references online to a JavaScript bold method, but I'm at a loss as to how it is applied in LiveCycle. Anyone have any ideas?
