RS improvements : full justification, html tags

Presently, it seems that it is impossible to set the text-align property of a
textbox to "full justification" (which means the text will be aligned along
the left and right margins).
Will full justification be supported in next RS version ?
In next version, will textboxes support html tags, so that it could be
possible to write some bold, some italic, some colored etc. text in the same
textbox ?What version are you on? If by next version you mean RS 2005 then the answer
is no to both of them. If you are wondering about the version after RS 2005
then I would have to say I don't have a clue and this early in the cycle MS
won't be saying either. On the newsgroup I have not seen many ask for full
justification but I have seen many ask for rich text (which really is the
proper way to specify what you are asking). It is easy to forget but RS is a
output independent reporting system. HTML is just one of the outputs that
get rendered. So rich text of course would come out in HTML as html tags, in
PDF, Excel, etc it would be rendered using whatever is native for those
outputs.
