Is it possible to select text in a field and change the text or highlight color of JUST the selected text?  I realize I could do this with HTML ( such as 
<FONT COLOR="#000000">) but what if you are trying to highlight and display HTML source, and thus the field is plaintext so that HTML commands display instead of being rendered in the field?

find string... - only provides a highlight box around sequential searches for the text, and in the same color of the text.

set the textColor of field x... - changes the color for the entire field.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
John
