Hi, 

According to your description, you want to add HTML format to the text box expression, right? 

In Reporting Services, we can use HTML label (like <DIV>, <SPAN>) to format text in a text box. In your scenario, when adding HTML label to text box expression, you can modify the Markup type to HTML-Interpret HTML tags as styles on Placeholder Properties window. For more detail information, please refer to this blog: Add HTML Formatting to your SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Reports. We have tested this scenario in our local environment. 

Expression: ="<span style='color:red;font-size:20pt'>"+Fields!SaleMan.Value+"</span>"

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Can you show the expression you used?

If you set Markup properties to HTML as suggested and use <SPAN> etc inside expression it should work fine

 Following is my Expression.

=space(20)+ "<span  style=""text-align:left;letter-spacing:2px;line-height:30px;word-spacing:5px;"">PURSUING STUDIES IN <b>SEMESTER</b> , Batch of duration year course Coursee .This Certificate is being issued to him for the purpose of education Loan</span>"

Ok. And did you select placeholder properties and set HTML support?

Yes 

Hi,

Sorry for delay.

Based on my tested, your html code can work properly in IE browser. But in SSRS, it only support simple tag attribute (like color or font-size).

Hello,

Thanks Shrek.

So is any other way you know to design a Certificates or Non Tabular Reports with prefect design/look.

Hi,

SSRS can only render data from database and simple processing. It is not good at dealing with text style. So you can use 3rd-part application (like CertificateMagic) to achieve your goal.
