Hi again

Any chance that you could help me with converting is to a string and make
the headline part bold?

Copy and Paste Special with turn =A1&A2 in B1 to a string
(Copy B1 and then Paste Special in B1)
Now you can format part of the string.
best wishes

Select the cell in which you have the string concatenation.

Place your cursor in the formula bar.

<F9
<Enter

In formula bar, select "headline part"

Then, either
Press the "B" button on the format toolbar
or
Format/Cells/Font Style BOLD


--ron

Thanks to all, but it dosn't solve my problem, because I want it to be done
automatically - any help on that?

A B C
HeadLine1 Decription1 HeadLine+Desc1 C1= (BOLD(A1)&char(10)&B1
HeadLine2 Decription2 HeadLine+Desc2 C2= (BOLD(A2)&char(10)&B2
HeadLine3 Decription3 HeadLine+Desc3 C3= (BOLD(A3)&char(10)&B3
....

Any help here?

As already written, you cannot use worksheet functions to accomplish this.
You'll have to use VBA. You can trigger a macro either manually or
automatically.

This code should get you started with one approach, but requires modifications
for appropriate error checking and column width formatting. You could also
make the code run automatically.

To enter the code, <alt<F11 opens the VB Editor. Ensure your project is
highlighted in the Project Explorer window, then Insert/Module and paste the
code below into the window that opens.

To use this, position the cursor in some cell in Column C. <alt<F8 opens the
Macro Dialog Box. Select the macro and RUN.

======================================
Option Explicit

Sub BoldHeadline()
'Concatenates the two cells to the left of Selection
'Bolds contents of first cell
'Inserts CHAR(10)

Dim HLcount As Long
Dim HL As Range, Descr As Range
Dim Target As Range

Set Target = Selection

For Each Target In Selection
Set HL = Target.Offset(0, -2)
Set Descr = Target.Offset(0, -1)
HLcount = Len(HL.Text)
Target.Value = HL.Text & vbLf & Descr.Text
Target.Characters(1, HLcount).Font.Bold = True
Next Target

End Sub
===============================
