Formatting selected text in a Filemaker field

I'm wondering if this is possible using an applescript command within
Filemaker...
I want to be able to search out text in a field (for example, all text within
field x which is inside quotes), and then have it appear and print in bold
face.
I know how to isolate the text within Filemaker, but it seems FM has no means
for me to automate its formatting.
Also, I would not want to change any user chosen formatting of other text
within the field...
I hope I'm being clear with this, it seems as if there should be a clearer
way to express it!
Example-
This is an example of the field which I want to alter and change the text
which is "In quotes" to bold without changing other formatting (notably size)

Would return:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
