use the properties.
Is the message built using msgbox() ?
yes...Multiple msgs in the same msg box
or any other way to show these messages in my presentation?
message = sprintf(' The name is: %s \n \n Value 1 is : %.1f \n \n Value 2 is : %.1f \n \n A_Output is:%.5f \n \n SR Output is :%.5f \n \nThe Actual output is : %.5f \n\n ',z{1},x,y,A_output,SR,Actual_output);
uiwait(msgbox(message));

Unfortunately msgbox() doesn't allow formatting options for the text it displays. I've put in a request for this a long time ago. I'd encourage you to send an email to support@mathworks.com asking for it also. In the meantime I think you're stuck writing your own little dialog box.

I don't use magbox, but for formatted messages in command window, look at cprintf

For anyone reading this still: Image Analyst's answer is incorrect. You can include italics / bold. Please see Jan's answer of this, on a similar question:

I believe it was correct 6 years ago when I wrote it, but NOW you can do it, as the link, and my attached utility msgboxw() show.
Yes, I noticed the date at which you wrote it, I also noticed that Jan's answer was 2 years earlier than you comment. This being said, perhaps the dating system is incorrect, or I overlooked something else. Apologies for the heavy-handed answer.
