Hi
Your post is titled “Make text before en-space bold”, so I guess that your sentence begins with the word that needs to be bold, followed by an en-space and the explanation. In that case:
1 Make a text style BOLD, as you would
2 You need to find ANY LETTER followed by en-space. So go to the GREP-function in your style, and search for [|\u]+~>. Activate the text style.

Explanation: [|\u] means any letter. Adding the + means 1 or more letters. And end with the symbol for en-space ~>.
It will apply the text style on every letter Ă nd the en-space, and wil stop when a regular space is found.

Also a tip: use a text style that consists only of a magenta coloring (or an other colour that stands out) to try out your grep style. Sometimes there are unexpected effects, which you might not see otherwise.

Good luck.
