apply bold format selectively within TextDisplay?

[David McFarlane]

Correct on all counts.  TextDisplay applies the same text 
characteristics to all the text, no way around that.  And as you 
said, one could work around this to some extent with a Slide, 
although that would not automatically adjust for text that may appear 
in different places for different sentences.  For the ultimate in 
control, you would have to go to Canvas.Text and associated methods 
(see that topic in the E-Basic Help facility), I did that for one project.
