Default Change font formatting in a concatenated string

Following on to the previous question "How do I insert a hard break (alt
enter) in a concatenated string" where the answer was by inserting a CHAR(xx)
string I wonder whether there are similar codes to eg make one element of a
concatenated string bold or italic or underlined or ...

This would come in particularly handy with strings that are displayed in
text boxes - very practical for variable explanations on graphs.

My current workaround is to put the string elements in separate text boxes,
format them as required and then group them together.

No there isn't. You need to use VBA to set the specific elements, but it is
a bind (IMO).
