So this is a really simple problem that Jason solved for me. If you have HTML in your database and you want to embed it into your report as HTML you need to do a few things. First start with a Text control.
1) Change the top drop-down to HTML
2) Change the second drop-down to Dynamic Text
3) Click on the
4) Manually insert the attribute format="HTML" into the VALUE-OF entity
If you follow these steps your HTML text will show up in your report document as formatted text that obeys the HTML rules.

Is it possible to use a css stylesheet on embedded HTML? Inline styles seem to work but trying to add an external file or even internal CSS declarations did not.
are you talking about embedding html that references the CSS or are you referring to using a CSS that has BIRT styles in it.
You can definitely attach external style sheets from the outline view.
Is supported bold option in word reports? How can I add this option?
yes Bold works in the word emitter. Just put it a style.
Actually, bold option works, but if you add <b> tag in the start of the text like:
<b>test</b>
It doesn't run.
I have also problems with the whitespace added before the tags, like:
test <b>test</b>
Whitespace in that case is removed, like:
testtest
Is a problem with the version? I'm using birt 2.2.1
Can you log a bug for this? As a work around try to use BIRT styles which should show in the word output fine.
Ben, James, Paul,
