Default Changing font of part of text in a cell

Hello,
Using VBA, I am trying to use Instr and Range(x).characters to change part
of a cell's text in Excel 97.
I do a loop to find a cell with the same text as a control cell, but as the
text may be at different points in a cell, (e.g. one might say "Try this"
and the other might say "try again". How can I get Excel to find the "try"
in cell A2 and embolden the "try" but not the rest if it matches the "try"
in another cell (found in a loop)? It's got me beat!
Thanks if you can help!
Ross
