Hi :)
But does Access have all the formatting options available in Writer, or even in Word?  Base does.  
It doesn't swap around what the Ctrl and Alt keys do either so you keep using the tools you are 
familiar with instead of going into some weird scary thing that keeps throwing curved balls.  My 
request would be better integration and fix the mail-merges issue if any remain.  
Regards from
Tom :)

However, MS Access has formatting support - so why not LibO Base? If there
truly is no support for this, then this could be filed as an enhancement on
FDO (our bug tracker).

Only in Forms and Reports.  Not in the data (Tables) or in the Queries.

I haven't used Base yet and don't really know so this is just guessing
from my impression of what goes on ...
I think you are meant to use Writer or Calc to "connect to" or "link to"
the Queries in Base.  Then you use fields in much the way you would "mail
merge".  That means you can apply normal formatting to the fields or the
text and stuff around that in the rest of the Writer or Calc document.

Does this link describe how to do that?

There was this link on the main LibreOffice website
http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/


I hope to start reading this quick guide or handbook that is in the
process of being translated from the original that was written in German

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Handbook
The chapter "Linking to Databases" is the other way around.  It's about
using external tables in MySql or PostgreSQL rather than having the tables
in the internal back-end.

I get confused around then but i think Base then 'just' has the queries
and the relationships between the tables.  Then Base feeds into Forms and
Reports created in Writer.  So Base is a bit like a bridge?

Tom :)

Hello,

I´m a Libreoffice user and I´d like to use italics and bold in Base. Is it
possible? It would be so important to me.

Soy un usuario de Libreoffice y me gustaría usar la cursiva y negrita en
el
programa Base.

Thanks in advance,
Antonio Canela
