printTextStyle

set the printTextStyle ¬
    to textStyleList

The printTextStyle property returns or sets the value of the default text style used by the print command when you print an expression. The default value is plain.

When you print a report, HyperCard determines the default text style for a report item as follows:

• If the report item is the text of a card or background field, HyperCard uses the text style of the field.

• If the report item is generated from any other HyperTalk expression, HyperCard uses the value of the printTextStyle.

In either case, the user can override the default style by selecting a style in the Item Info dialog box of the report item.

set the printTextStyle to "bold"
