Having only a part of a text box be a certain format

I did a search of the knowledge base, but I could not find
it.

Access XP in Windows 2000

Say for example I have this sentence: "See Spot run" I
want only the word "Spot" to be bolded. In an Access
report what is the formula (for lack of a better word" to
make only that word be bolded.

I have done this before in Word mail merges and Access
before changing the date format within a sentence, but I
can;t remember that.

Is there a list of all of these commands either in help or
in the knowedge base so I can have an easyt reference to
all of these commands? If not, what is specifically the
syntax of the bolding command
 
Please give some specifics on how this word will be chosen. Is it going to
be predetermined or will a query figure it out for us or how will that
happen? VB Code (should) easily do it with Detail_Print, but determining
when/how the criteria is selected is the tricky part.
 
I don't want it to be any criteria or anything. I will
only want to select certain word or words and make it bold
or italic or underlined. I know it can be done right in
the text box without any complicated VB programming. I
just done remember the syntax of the command

You're remembering wrong unless you were using an RTF ActiveX control. In
standard TextBoxes the formatting applies to the entire control not to the
characters inside individually.

In a report you can write data out using the print method and then be able
to apply different formatting to one word in the middle of a sentence, but
not with a TextBox.
 
I have done this before with date formats. It looked
something like:

=((Date()),"mmmm/dd/yyyy")

Also, I am not talking about Label Boxes, but rater Text
boxes where you can types formulas etc.
