I am trying to register with a holiday forum but they need the user name and password in BOLD letters - how do I get this.

If the holiday forum is outside of CNet it may use HTML:

<B>your text here</B>

Liz, Are You Sure ??

I've NEVER seen a registration form that required bold letters...Usually they want "CAPITAL" letters or "lower cased" letters. Unless, you use HTML or are registering with a word processor document, such as Microsoft Word, then they can't process something that's BOLDED anyway.

Hope this helps.

Why don't you provide the URL...

to that registration form and we could tell you how to do what they want.

I suspect that a careful reading would indicate that they are telling you that you MUST fill in any text boxes that are bolded.
