I was wondering why spell check underlined the word when I used "bolded".
It's not [yet] in the English dictionary, it probably will be.

Therefore, in my "quest" to speak and write a better English I found a few alternatives (source):

1. Embolden - I emboldened the first line.
2. Boldface - I boldfaced the 3rd line.

Now here's the quote from the source:

This is a problem for many people. The word 'embolden', which is the usual word for 'make bold', applies to bravery, not type sets. Actually, there is already a good verb for this: 'boldface' ('Please boldface the next 3 lines'), but it is almost unknown outside printers' circles. With the amount of boldfacing that is going on these days on the internet, I would not be surprised if 'bold/bolded/bolded' as a verb soon enters the dictionaries.


Enough said. You can use bolded, I guess.
