Malcom,

if you put the text in a table with
formated memo (F_ger in my case)
this works on form:

scan TC:
if UIO.attach(TC.Objektname) then
UIO.value=TC.F_ger
endif
endscan

so I get underlined and bold strings on buttons,

I've created a button in P9 which, on clicking, produces a series of

switchMenu

theForm.open("option1.fsl",WinStyleMaximize)
case "Option 2: this option opens form 2" :
theForm.open("option.fsl",WinStyleMaximize)
etc.
etc.
endSwitchMenu
endmethod
The text in the resulting menu appears in the default style. Is
there
any way of formatting it so that, e.g., the words "Option1" and "Option
2" could be in a different colour, font, etc., from the rest of the
text, e.g. "this option opens form 1"? I've looked through Help and my
Opal book, without success.
Any help gratefully received, as always.
