DrawText

I'm attempting to write an item of text to a rectangular region using DrawText or DrawTextEx. The text contains a keyword (or multiple keywords that need to have a bold font style). The width is fixed and the rectangle height calculated. I am using DT_WORDBREAK to manage the word wrapping. Which ever way I break up the problem I always need to do some manual word wrap. Using underline to hightlight the keyword is much easier since single a ampersand is a known style prefix. I think I will have to drop down to handling the output word by word. Any other suggestions ?
