TeX can produce an artificial bold version of type 1 fonts via postscript commands in the map file, and you can consult the index of the TeXbook for "poor man's bold" for another solution. In both cases, the typographic quality is so low that you really don't want to go there. Word output is ugly anyway, so nobody cares if it produces artificial bold that makes it even uglier...
