What type of source file are you working with?

Am just creating a CSV file using shell script in UNIX. The same csv file will be opened in MS excel in Windows.
I need to bold few headers while creating CSV file in UNIX.

My understanding is that making a field bold is a cell formatting feature of Excel. I don't know of any way to create the flat file with bold or any other formatting enabled. This might be a question better asked of Excel experts.
