Formatting a portion of a String in a TextBox

I have a report that shows a string containing "wildcard" values. I
would like to be able to change the formatting (Bold, Italicized, Red)
for the wildcard values within the string. I've been examining the
conditional formatting functionality, but it seems only to apply to the
whole textbox value not a portion of it.
Has anyone tackled this before?
TIA,
EricI had similar issue when combining string and number field and solved it with
Format function:
=Fields!industry.Value & " (" & Format(Fields!marketPct.Value, "#0.0%") & ")"
You can probably something similar for color.
