My boss is always wanting stuff 'normal' bold and then
some things in the same document 'lightly' bolded. Is
there a way to do that?

No, but you could run the following by him/her.
For the 'lightly bolded' text apply the bold option then set the font colour
to a very dark grey instead of black.
You might want to create a character style for this :)

With decent fonts, there is. You get to have types of standard, medium,
and strong "strength".

But usually, those are not free.

...Or use Arial/Bold and Arial Black (though I prefer the latter over
the bold anyway :-))
