Default Highlighting a word when it shows up on a report

Hello experts. This may be wishful thinking, but can access do the following:

Potential scenario...
lets say I have a table with 5 fields and the data in each field is at least
an entire sentence (excluding a PK). I run a report that displays each of
the 5 fields and the data in each. The record source of this report is a
select query that finds all the records Where [FieldName] LIKE "*Some Word*".
For example, say the word is "ship". This report will find all the records
where "ship" appears in any of those fields.

My question is...is there a way in Access to have "ship" highlighted
wherever it shows up on the report? For example, there are many databases
out there that highlight your search term in the web page or document that
shows up in the results.

Thanks.

Michael O
