As a shortcut, you can just press Ctrl+B in the (empty) "Find what" box to
apply Format: Font: Bold.

Steve,

First stab would be EditReplaceMore. Put your cursor in the find what
field then click formatfontbold. Put your cursor in the replace with
field and enter ^&@.

This will give you boldTitlebold@ Description.

If you want you could then find @space and replace with @, leaving you
with
boldTitlebold@Description

Hi,



I have paragraphs whose first couple of words are in bold and
represent titles of magazines and then immediately following a
description of the magazine in plain text. I would like to parse
these into separate fields by placing a delimiter between the bold
text and plain and then doing a Text to Columns in Excel. So, if I
used the ampersand '@' as a delimiter I would like to do the
following:


Before Find Replace

boldInterior DesignboldA magazine on the interior design industry.



After Find Replace

boldInterior Designbold@A magazine on the interior design
industry.


It doesn't matter if the title remains bold so long as a delimiter is
placed between it and the description.



Thanks - Steve
