Macro to make a LINE BOLD under cursor

Unfortunately that doesn't help. There are no 'lines' as such in a Word document. Word formats text by flowing it between the current margins.

Your illustration shows text that terminates with a comma, which suggests that it may not be a complete paragraph.

If it is a complete paragraph, the task is simple

Code:

Sub Macro1()
Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.Bold = True
End Sub

If the text is only the displayed line within a paragraph, then you should bear in mind that if you change the font attributes, you potentially change the flow between the margins, so the bold 'line' could spill to the next 'line'. However

Code:

Sub Macro2()
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Font.Bold = True
End Sub

could work for you.
In both cases put the cursor in the 'line' and run the macro.
