Sub MakeBold()

    ' Establish search criteria.
    With Application.FindFormat.Font
        .Name = "Arial"
        .FontStyle = "Regular"
        .Size = 10
    End With

    ' Establish replacement criteria.
    With Application.ReplaceFormat.Font
        .Name = "Arial"
        .FontStyle = "Bold"
        .Size = 8
    End With

    ' Notify user.
    With Application.ReplaceFormat.Font
        MsgBox .Name & "-" & .FontStyle & "-" & .Size & _
            " font is what the search criteria will replace cell formats with."
    End With

    ' Make the replacements in the worksheet.
    Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", _
        SearchFormat:=True, ReplaceFormat:=True

End Sub
