Find and Replace (Ctrl+H). In the "Find what" box, type "panel" (without the
quotation marks). Leave the "Replace with" box empty but press Ctrl+B to
turn on Format: Font: Bold. Replace All.

You could click on Edit/Find/ and then type in the word you want bolded.
Then check off the small box asking to highlight all words. Click on "Find
all" and after the words are highlighted, "cancel" the small pop-up box and
you will still see all the words still highlighted. That's when you click on
the Bold button and all those words will become bolded.
