One of the following will let you know:

1) Remember that in Word when you type, the formatting is the same as what 
is to the left of the cursor
2) Look to see if the "B" is "pressed" or not in the toolbar
3) Have the "Show Formatting" button pressed, so you can see if your space 
was bold or not

Of course not.  Unless you didn't just make "world" bold, but the 
space/linefeed after it too, and then only deleted the word, of course then 
leaving a space/linefeed in bold.

In Word, each character has a format associated with it, including spaces 
and returns.  Delete the character, the formatting goes with it.  Start 
typing, you get the format of the character to the left.  It's not hard to 
understand.
