When asking a question about databases, you should always say which
database and which server-side language you are using. The answer will
almost always be different for each one.

I very much doubt that anyone has created a Dreamweaver extension to do
this. However, it should be relatively easily accomplished using
server-side string manipulation functions. Without knowing what you're
using, nobody can give you an answer.

sure, you can do that with :

- server-side language like(PHP, ASP, JSP, CFM, Ruby, ...)
- javascript

here is javascript function

function setBold(string){
var pos = string.indexOf(" ");
var pos2 = string.indexOf(" ",pos+1);
var first = string.slice(0,pos2).bold();
var last = string.slice(pos2);
document.write(first+" "+last);
}
setBold("salut c'est moi");

you can do that (properly) with regexp
