Default Formatting certain text within a cell

I've used conditional formatting in Excel but I couldn't find a way to
automatically format only parts of a cell. Is there a way using VBA or
formulas in Excel to key on certain words in a cell and format them (ex-- if
"dog" is typed, add today's date to end of "dog" and underline it), leaving
other words untouched?

Also,is there a way to auto line break and resize to fit large blocks of
text that are pasted in a cell?
--
Thanks,Bill
