You cann't do directly in RDLC. Please refer the below link http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/dc88c256-b00b-41b9-9f33-3c2aa0c96a8b/displaying-rich-text-with-formatting-in-rdlc-file Regards, Iftikar

Hemant Thank you for your answer. I think you place a RichTextBox in the reportviewer control (wich is a winform control), but not in the report. I've tried it by putting a RTB, writing some text in it and run, then I've exported it as pdf file and the RTB's text diden't appeared in the pdf file.

You may use RichTextBox instead of TextBox, then you could easily set formatting in parts. For example: string sFirst = "Mr Robinson"; string sSecond = "Italian coffee table"; richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(richTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold); richTextBox1.AppendText(sFirst +"	"); richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(richTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Italic); richTextBox1.AppendText(sSecond); This will give display as below:

In this example, the text in braces are fields. All have to be place in a simple textbox. "…I recently received a letter from a { Mr Robinson }, a valued customer of ours. He purchased an { Italian coffee table } and…" Normal 0 21 false false false ES-MX X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Tabla normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0cm;mso-para-margin-right:0cm;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0cm;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} As you can see the fields format (bold and italic) is different from other text format.
