Custom Functions and Text Formatting

Using FileMaker Advanced for repetitive text formatting.
If you have a copy of FileMaker Advanced why not create a custom function for repetitive text formatting. Some examples the we use are:
Function Name = BlackBold; Parameter = kb; Function = TextStyleAdd ( TextColor ( kb ; RGB ( 0 ; 0 ; 0 ) ) ; Bold). This can be modified for other types of formatting like italics; TextStyleAdd ( TextColor ( kki ; RGB ( 0 ; 0 ; 0 ) ) ; Bold+Italic) or TextStyleAdd ( TextColor ( kki ; RGB ( 0 ; 0 ; 0 ) ) ; Bold+Underline).
