Change Fonts, Size, etc. in Quark Paragraph

I was curious if anyone knows a way to change the properties of text inbetween tabs of a paragraph in Quark 4.11. For example, is it possible to change "See the" to a times font/size 10 pt and "dog run" to a Helvetica font/size 14 pt and then "quickly" to a Geneva font/size 24 pt in the following paragraph?

See the (tab) dog run (tab) quickly.

or the same thing with different amounts of words between the tabs like:

See the dog (tab) run quickly (tab) through the yard.

Right now I have been changing the tabs to returns so that each section is on it's own paragraph and then changing the font, etc. using a repeat loop with:

set properties of paragraph i to {font:"Times", size:"10 pt"}
set properties of paragraph (i + 1) to {font:"Helvetica", size:"14 pt"}
set properties of paragraph (i + 2) to {font:"Geneva", size:"24 pt"}

and then when everything is changed I change the returns back into tabs. I'm wondering if there's an easier and better way about this. Thanks for your help!

Jay
