Not exactly. 

In FrameMaker, to create bold text, you should always and every time apply a character tag to that text. 

My character tags tend to describe not formatting but purpose. 

For example, my character tag called "click" applies a bold style. 

So, to apply bold to a word or series of Words in FrameMaker, you should be applying a character tag; yours might be called "bold." 

You should not be applying overrides, such as by using the Bold button, Italics button, or Emphasis button. 

If you have applied overrides, you need to redo that with tags for WWP Pro. So, open your Character Catalog, select your paragraph, and apply the "Default Paragraph Font" tag. Then, select the specific text you want bold, and apply the Bold Character Tag you created. 

WWP pro maps only tags. So, overrides are not carried over. But, using overrides is a less-than-optimal way of using FrameMaker even if you are not using WWP. 

Finally, you do not need to create a Bold character tag for each kind of paragraph tag you have. You don't need a "Body-Bold." You only need a "Bold." And, never overlap character tags. That is, don't overlap "Bold" and "Emphasis" to make bold italic. Instead, create a "Bold-Italic" character tag that does what you want and apply it. But, instead of thinking in terms of formatting, think in terms of use. That is, why I named my Character tag "click" and not "bold."
