Default Formating text in a calculation

I have a formula that looks like this:

=CONCATENATE("Placement of ",B7, " inch, ",ROUND(B9,2),"% lime stabilized
subgrade")

I need the cell references to stand out, so I want to format only the two
numbers to underline, boldface, and a larger font size. Is there a way to do
this?

Thanks in advance

PARTS of formulas cannot be a different color -- it's all or none. Different
formatting is only for constant values, not formulas.

Sorry, but Excel does not allow you to separately format subsets of a
formula's result
