         Dim text As TextObject
         Dim fieldFont As New FontDialog()

         If TypeOf _
            (Report.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects. _
            Item(reportObjectName)) Is TextObject Then
            text = _
               Report.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects. _
               Item(reportObjectName)
            If fieldFont.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
               text.ApplyFont(fieldFont.Font)
               text.Color = Color.Blue
            End If
      End If
      

      private void SetFont(string reportObjectName)
      {
         TextObject text;
         FontDialog fieldFont = new FontDialog();

         text = Report.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects[reportObjectName]
            as TextObject;
         if (text!= null)
         {
            if (fieldFont.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
               text.ApplyFont(fieldFont.Font);
               text.Color = Color.Blue;
            }
