Hi…is it possible to format text in a formula?  
For instance, is it possible to make this text “The quick red fox” appear in a color like red?  
And would it be possible to add a line break between words or sentences, so it appeared as:  
The  
quick  
red  
fox

Thanks, Gregg

Hi @Gregg_Stebben

Of course, find this quick example

To create format template, I suggest you create a new **Template Table** and call it using `Format()` function. IN template table, you create the look you want, using {1}, etc… for futur use in the Format function

for example for blue, bold et centered, here is the formula in the main table

And to break your works, use a combination of `Split(" ")` function, that will split your sentence for each “blank” character, and replace them with linebreak using `Join()`

This is the doc, please have fun with it and tell me what you think 😉

Cheers
