				| rkdivvela, what is the output printer? Is it an impact printer or a laser printer? What type (Manufacturer/Model)? What is the printer interface (AFP, XPAF)? 
 Bolding a specific column takes a bit more work than just bolding a line or a part of a line. My recommendation would be to not concern yourself with attempting to code this via a program, but instead let the printer software handle this for you. It would make more logical sense to setup a printer definition that specifies that all data within a set column range must print with a bold font.
