There are a number of shortcuts that work this way: Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I,
Ctrl+Shift+H, Ctrl+J/L,R,E (basically most of the shortcuts for font and
paragraph formatting), as well as Ctrl+Spacebar and Ctrl+Q (to remove any of
the previous). The font formatting ones are three-way toggles. Ctrl+B once
gives you Format: Font: Bold. Twice gives you Format: Font: Not Bold. A
third time (or Ctrl+Spacebar) cancels the formatting.

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
