Printing parts of tables in varying styles

Greetings. I need to generate a test report and I'm trying to use the
LabView Report Generation VIs. They seem very simple and friendly, but I'm
beginning to suspect they're not as versatile as they at first seem. 🙂

I have a string table, and I would like some elements of that table to print
in boldface type. When I change one element to boldface on the Diagram,
however, it turns the entire table to boldface! Is there a way to embolden
just a single (or a few) entries of a text array, either programmatically or
by hand? Is there a way to do it using the Report Generation VIs? Is there
a better alternative to using the Report Generation VIs that wouldn't be too
hard to learn and would allow more flexibil
ity like this?

(Note: I also want to do the same thing with a table of numeric values.)

Thanks in advance!

The report generation vi's can be modified to get them to do just about
anything. I've been successful in modifying them for specific tasks.
Take a look at the code to see if you can figure out the task that you
are trying to do. Otherwise I don't know of anything else that will
what you are trying to do (there is a commercial product that I know of
written in LabVIEW for report generation, but I can't remember who
sells it).
