(OK, so this is a repost but it seems I spoke like a novice before and didn't get across what I was trying to achieve.)

What I need to be able to do is have a field (which is a concatenation) in which the first piece of info is in say font size 10 and the extra bracketed info is in say font size 7.

Alternatively is there a way to make a field move itself up next to the edge of the text in a field to it's left and/or make it's font resize itself to fit in the box.

For example:

Air's Ashley Seats (fab'd to lugs, +135g dacron, netted and recipped)
Topline Contract Furniture's Chatsworth Arms (TT)

So the bracketed info sits next to the main info but in a smaller font. Not just like this, which is obviously easy enough to do:
Air's Ashley Seats____________________________________ (fab'd to lugs, +135g dacron, netted and recipped)
Topline Contract Furniture's Chatsworth Arms________ (TT)
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
You can do it using memo fields in Access 2007 or higher, because they allow rich text formatting. Otherwise I think you're out of luck.
You could consider merging to Word, and formatting the output there. That will give you a lot of flexibility.
