How do I change the formatting of the text in an option button?
I would like to have bold text and different colored text.

Bold can be handled for any control having a Font property object via the
Font's Bold property. From the IDE, highlight the control, click on Font in
the Properties window and click the small button with the dot-dot-dot
caption, select Bold from the list. In code, you can do it this way...

ControlName.Font.Bold = True

where ControlName is the actual name of your control.

As for the colored text, see these links...

IGNORE MY RESPONSE!!!

I made two mistakes in my answer... one, I thought I was in a VB (compiled)
newsgroup when I answered and, two, I answered for the wrong control
(CommandButton instead of OptionButton).

Sorry for any confusion.
