Field text styles

I realise this is a dumb question, but if I create a field and set 
its text via the Development Environment to say (18 point bold, red, 
centered, 3D Box), when I actually put a value in it via say

  put format("%05.2f",gSomeValue) into fld "myCoolDisplay"

all the formatting is lost, and I get the font and styles which the 
field had when it was created.

Do I have to reset these styles every time I put a value in the 
field, or is there a better way?

Can't find anything in the usual sources, but it is hard to know what 
keywords to use.

TIA
