This is really a two part question:

I am using "Adobe Song Std L" font because I need to be able to display Chinese characters. This works perfectly except I need to BOLD one field.

Here is the question(s):

1). I do not see a way to bold the font under the Properties menu so can it be done?

2). Is there an "Adobe Song Std B" - B for BOLD - font that I can use instead? If so, where would I fine it? I have searched the Adobe Fonts and cannot find it.

(I am using Adobe Professional 7.1)

Thanks in advance for the help!

Jim

Did you set the field to "Allow Rich Text" in options tab in the properties dialog.

Once you've done this you should see several font options on the "Properties Toolbar" (not the dialog). Select the hand tool and then place the cursor into the field. If the properties dialog does not display the font options then they do not exist for this particular font.
