Print codes inside text on report (i.e. bold on/bold_off etc.)

[Nancy Palmquist]

Richard,  Are you missing some quotes?  z=""{*hp_bold_on*{"This is bold"

As far as I understand, the asterisks are a little out of place in this 
line.  Could you explain?  The variable was displayed in bold in my 
read, and I am familiar with the codes that start with * but I think 
they should not be part of your string when programming this.  BTW nice 
note.
