  One of those things that are on my list to figure out but haven't gotten to yet. I don't know exactly how it works for conditional formatting but it has something to do with the Style and StyleExpr properties on page objects.
  
  Maybe this will get you started:

  I have only tried it in the windows client and it works there.
  
  As DenSter already mentioned it has to do with the Style and StyleExpr properties that the fields on a page have.
  
  I created a global variable "TxtStyleExpr" of type Text with no length.
  
  On the page, I put that variable, "TxtStyleExpr" in the property "StyleExpr" leaving "Style" on <none>.
  
  Then in code I use that text variable in the OnAfterGetRecord:

  TxtStyleExpr := 'Standard'; // Default
  
  IF (BooOrderExpired) THEN
    TxtStyleExpr := 'Unfavorable'; // Bold Red
  
  IF (BooOrder5DayNotice) THEN
    TxtStyleExpr := 'Ambiguous'; // Orange
  

  
  You can only use the styles that are defined by Microsoft.
  The URL that DenSter provided has a list that defines them.

  I have used your example, it did not go well, the font color has not changed, this is the code I have written
  

  trigger OnAfterGetRecord();
      begin
          MyStyleExpr := 'Standard';
          if ("Document No." = 'FVR00043') then
              MyStyleExpr := 'Ambiguous';
      end;
  
      var
          MyStyleExpr: Text;
  

  
  Can you tell me what I need to make it work well?

  Works for me:
  
  
  Did you set the StyleExpr property to your MyStyleExpr variable? I set it at a field level. In the screenshot you see that only No and Name are formatted, those are the fields that I set the StyleExpr property.

  Thanks DenSter,
  
  I added the property to the field and it worked, I consider that was what was missing. I did it this way, could you tell me if it is the right way?
  

      layout
      {
          // Add changes to page layout here
          modify("Document No.")
          {
              StyleExpr = MyStyleExpr;
          }
          modify("Document Type")
          {
              StyleExpr = MyStyleExpr;
          }
      }
      var
          MyStyleExpr: Text;
  
      trigger OnAfterGetRecord();
      begin
          MyStyleExpr := 'Standard';
          if ("Document No." = 'FVR00043') then
              MyStyleExpr := 'Ambiguous';
      end;

  Other than hard coding the document number, that looks pretty good to me
