Default Alternate lines in Bold

You can also do this with a wild card find and replace.
Put a check in the Use wild cards box.
In the Find box type "M*)^013" (where ^013 is the ANSI/ASCII code for a
paragraph mark).
In the Replace with box type ^& (the shortcut for "what you(the computer)
found") and with the cursor still in the box type Ctrl+b (the shortcut for
bold). This will apply bold manual formatting to the replacement text.

If you have a particular paragraph style for all of your M: paragraphs (say,
Question), you can put the style name in the replace box formatting. - - -
After clicking More to display more options in the Find and Replace dialog,
click Format Style and choose the paragraph style you want to use.

I have a conversation that runs into several pages.

The conversation goes like this:

M: Do you like watching television?
R: No, I hate it. I love watching movies, nevertheless.

M: What kind of movies do you watch?
R: I like to watch action movies

and so on.....

My problem is : I want all lines that are spoken by M (M to be highlighted
in bold.

Can someone help me?
