Does anyone know if I can change the color of some of the characters in an ASNAME?

In the example below, can I change the color of ABC to red in the example below?

PRINT COMPANY AS 'ABC Company'

You can do it with MARKUP.

I think this will work with 7.6.1

DEFINE FILE CAR
 Test_Text/A20 = 'Value < 1 >' ;
 Test_Text2/A20 = '<box> </box>' ;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR   AS '[b]Car[/b],[i]Name[/i]'
      MODEL AS '[i]<u>M</u>odel[/i]'
      Test_Text AS 'Testing,Text'
      Test_Text2 AS '<sup>text</sup>'
BY COUNTRY AS '<font face="arial" size=12 color=#FF9933>Country</font>,<font face="arial" size=8 color=#0066FF>Name</font>'

You thought correctly. I thought that when I had previously used markup code, the macro template that I am using did not run. But, I tried your suggestion and it WORKS. What I'm trying to do is indent certain lines in a report that uses over. So what I did was to insert some period marks in front of the text I want indented, Using your suggestion, I can color code the period marks white so that that will not be visible when the report opens up in Excel. I can't use show blanks=ON because it prevents the macro template that I am using from running when the report opens up in Excel. I thought of another way to indent the data, that is, by using CTRAIN. I ran into a problem using that function. I am going to open up a new Post to see if that problem can be resolved. If it can't then I will use the MARKUP function. Thanks so much for your EXCELLENT suggestion. I will close this POST.
