VBA code: Bold part text when concatenating two columns:

Sub JoinCellsWithBoldFormatForFirstWord()
'Updateby Extendoffice 20160725
    Dim xRg As Range
    Dim xTxt As String
    Dim xCell As Range
    Dim I As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    If ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Count > 1 Then
      xTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.AddressLocal
    Else
      xTxt = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.AddressLocal
    End If
LInput:
    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please select the data range:", "Kutools for Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)
    If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    If xRg.Areas.Count > 1 Then
        MsgBox "does not support multiple selections", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
        GoTo LInput
    End If
    If xRg.Columns.Count <> 2 Then
        MsgBox "only two columns in the selection", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
        GoTo LInput
    End If
    Set xRg = xRg.Resize(xRg.Rows, 3)
    On Error Resume Next
    For Each xCell In xRg.Columns(3).Cells
        xCell = xRg.Cells(xCell.Row, 1) & " " & xRg.Cells(xCell.Row, 2)
        xCell.Font.Bold = False
        xCell.Characters(1, Len(xRg.Cells(xCell.Row, 1))).Font.FontStyle = "Bold"
    Next
End Sub
