If I assume that you are starting with existing text like:

This is quote bold test test test unbold end quote.This is quote bold test test test unbold end quote.

The maybe something like this is what you are after"

Code:

Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
Dim oRng As Word.Range
  Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
  With oRng.Find
    .Text = "quote bold*unbold end quote"
    .MatchWildcards = True
    While .Execute
      oRng.Words.First.Delete
      oRng.Words.First.Delete
      oRng.Words.Last.Delete
      oRng.Words.Last.Delete
      oRng.Words.Last.Delete
      oRng.Bold = True
      oRng.InsertBefore """"
      oRng.InsertAfter """"
      oRng.Characters.Last.Bold = False
      oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    Wend
  End With
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub
