Default Select text from a field

Hi all,
This group has been very helpful to me and Thank you for your help and quick
respond.

I don't think this is duable, but since I do not have programming
experience, I thought asking you.

I have a sheet that has 5000 records. User has to fill out column B with
the correct name, based on a column A I provided. E.g. Col A
HOUSE OF EUROPE
FUNDING IV PLC
In col B he has to fix this name and enter: FUNDING IV PLC
He didn't do so . Instead he highlighted BOLD in col A "FUNDING IV PLC" and
said use in col B highlighted name.
Question: Is there any way for me to say update Col B with part of the name
that is Bold on col. A? Otherwise I have to do this manually for 500 rec.

Thanks a lot

--
Bob
