Here is the code, anybody can use it, put the code in VBA module and run it, the macro will automatically add bold in ms Word.

Sub Bo()
'Finding Bold Text
Dim boldWord As String
Dim doc As Document
Set doc = ActiveDocument
With doc.Content.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Font.Bold = True
.Execute
While .Found
boldWord = .Parent.Text
.Parent.Text = "<b>" & boldWord & "</b>"
.Execute
Wend
End With
doc.Content.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll, Forward:=True, Wrap:=wdFindContinue
End Sub

Here's a solution I found, tested with Word 2010:

In the search and replace dialog,

Leave the Find what: field blank In the Replace with: put <b>^&</b>
In the Format -> Font section, select Bold
Replace All

This will put the tags around your bold text. Then you can just copy it to put it in the webpage.

Edit:

Alternatively, you could use Wildcards with search and replace, using the pattern \<b\>(*)\</b\>.
