Hi nz,
You can't change the appearance of an individual word in a TextBox in Silverlight. (You can in a TextBlock by specifying Run elements as below, but of course a TextBlock isn't user-editable.)
<TextBlock> <Run FontWeight="Bold">This text will be bold, </Run> <Run Foreground="Red">and this will be red.</Run> </TextBlock>
Silverlight doesn't have a RichTextBox like WPF does (although I believe some third-party Silverlight RichTextBox controls are available), which would be capable of doing what you're after.
Regards,Rob

Hi,
Just a thought. Why don't you think about using RichTextBox here? Check this out - http://www.codeplex.com/richtextedit
Thanks,
