I use an IDL program to output a file that lists data. I use Excel to
view them. I would like to format column & row headings, made under
PRINTF statements within the program, to BOLD text but cannot. Any help
is appreciated.

Thanks,
Clif

Clif,

If you mean uppercase text, the STRUPCASE function does what you need,
e.g.

title = 'Heading'
print, strupcase( title )

Cheers,
Liam.
