when adding a Static Text component (or other text component)which contains the text: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" there seems to be no way to add emphasis to a word. For example, if you wanted to make the word 'lazy' bold, like in the sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the *lazy* dog" It seems to me that the ability to add some simple formating to a text item would greatly enhance usability.
