Highlighting (make bold or underline) an item in a cellstring to be used in an annotation

Hi, I want to highlight by either underlining or making bold or different color only one cell string in the annotation:

In the code, newname is a string and the item I want highlighted.

       dim = [0.4 0.1 0.2 0.1];
       str = {newname,['<Mean>=',num2str(mna,'%.2f')],['<CutOff>=',num2str(cutoff2,'%.2f')]};
       annotation('textbox',dim,'String',str,'FitBoxToText','on', 'BackgroundColor',[0 0 0.7], 'FaceAlpha',0.2,'Units','normalized','HorizontalAlignment','left','FontSize',12);

I have tried the following but no luck.

str = {\bfboldnewname,['<Mean>=',num2str(mna,'%.2f')],['<CutOff>=',num2str(cutoff2,'%.2f')]};

As the annotation object has no children, I think the only way to adjust only one line would be to generate the box with annotation, but put in the text separately with text. You might be able to set the annotation box as the parent object, which might spare you some headache with the position.

str = {newname, ['<Mean>=',num2str(mna,'%.2f')], ['<CutOff>=',num2str(cutoff2,'%.2f')]};

str{1} = ['\bf ', str{1}, ' \rm'];  %\bf to set to bold, \rm to reset back to normal afterward

annotation('textbox',dim,'String',str,'FitBoxToText','on', 'BackgroundColor',[0 0 0.7], 'FaceAlpha',0.2,'Units','normalized','HorizontalAlignment','left','FontSize',12);

Perfect thankyou, can you also change its color? Jason

[Jason]

Done it.

str{1} = ['\bf\color{red} ', str{1}, ' \rm\color{black}'];
