How do I make first line of selected text bold?

[James]

I have a macro that pastes in some text from a textfile unformatted. I want
to bold the first line from the text file. there is a cariage return between
the first line and the body of the text in the text file if it helps. Also,
after the paste the text is already selected. thanks in advance for any help!

If by "carriage return" you mean specifically a paragraph mark, then
add the following statement to the macro after the paste command:

Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Bold = True
