Advanced function printing bolding

Hey guys I'm not much of a expert on AFP so I was wondering if someone
might be able to answer this for me.

We have a report that they would like to bold certain words in a long
description.

So say we had Chevy Pickup Truck C1500 Extended Cab for example.

They want to bold the C1500. This is a concatenated string. They want the
string trimmed so it reads like a sentence so I can't break it up into
different fields. Printing it twice in AFP does not bold it since it has a
font.

Is there any type of control character I could put in the string to make it
bold? All my other work arounds are pretty hairy. I would have to use a
fixed font like courier print the line and then print the C1500 on a line
by itself with a bold font in the correct position. I'm even finding that
does not always work as it seems to shift the data sometimes and creates a
double image.
