Bold Key Points
ActionWriting
Before
The deadline moved to Friday and the budget is fixed
After
Same text, with the key phrases in bold
When to use it
The text is right as written, but busy readers need to spot the deadline, number or decision at a glance.
What it does
Adds bold to a few short key phrases, at most one or two per paragraph, and changes nothing else. Every word, line break and punctuation mark stays exactly as you wrote it.
Works best on messages a few paragraphs long; on a single sentence there is usually only one thing worth bolding.
