Hi Daniel,
Thanks for calling this out and I'm glad Kyle's comment was helpful!

Hi Pat,
You can format the text within a variable in Storyline as you would format any other text, but that formatting may not keep if you set it up originally within a Word document that you then copy and paste into Storyline. Additionally, if you'll be referring to the variable later, you'll want to set the formatting within the reference too - it won't pull the formatting from the initial text entry.
Occasionally if you click back in the text box, it will reset the formatting. So the best way to keep it is to lock the text box on the timeline.
