I have written a small app the writes flat text files from excel
(order/routing tickets) and sends them to various different
printers around this place..

it is pretty simple and uses the

Open strfilename For Output Access Write Lock Write As #1
Print #1, " This is where the text goes" & string & ""

formats... I've just been asked to Bold some of the fields...I
don't think that is possible but I can't find any real info...
can someone tell me for sure yes or no?

Please?

No,

Text files (open with notepad) have no formatting.

Its not possible. When you are writing basic text format files,
you can't use any sort of formatting like bold or italics.
