how do I modify the font (for a single word) in a drop down list? how about in a script?

On my form I have a drop down list box. Of the list items, I would like to emphasize certain words using basic text formatting. For example, the list items might be:
1. Dr. Jones office, Columbus, GA
2. Dr. Smith office, Atlanta, GA
3. Dr. Smith office, Macon, GA
Let's say I wanted to emphasize the city, state of those listed items and I wanted the font to be 14 point and bold, and I wanted the font of the rest of the list item (Home Depot) to be 10 point and regular/not bold. Is there a way to do that?
 
In a similarly related question, I have a script (JavaScript)in which I would like to emphasize certain words and am also ignorant as to how to do this.
A portion of the button-triggered script is:
CheckBox50Mod.Page1.MainSubform.Button3a::mouseUp - (JavaScript, client)
var aHernia = ["Hernia",
["Inguinal",
["unilateral",
"Inguinal hernia; unilateral; initial; w/o obstruction 550.90"
Let's say I wanted to emphasize, 550.90 by making it bold and larger font. How would I do that?
Thanks

No you can not. In a text field you can make the field a 'Rich Text Format' field and then manipulate individual words, but no other fields have this option.

Thanks. That is disappointing.
