Hi,

A lot of the information you need is in Adobe's scripting guide http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_scriptingReference  Also there is a very useful Adobe guide to Calculations and Scripts (and while it is for version 6 it is still very good because of the way it is laid out) http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/CalcScripts.pdf

The Javascript could be used in the Layout: Ready event.

For italic font:

if (...some test...)

{

     this.font.posture = "italic";

}

else

{

     this.font.posture = "normal";

}

For bold font:

if (...some test...)

{

     this.font.weight = "bold";

}

else

{

     this.font.weight = "normal";

}

The script will change the font for the complete field. I don't think you can change parts of a field.You can also change font colour and font type (the guides above will help).

Good luck,

Niall
