Options > Sorting > Show Subtotals Only (hide transactional data) - this is the last option on that tab.

Use the ‘Head or Tail’ stylesheet which you’ll need to customize in Edit > Stylesheets.

You’ll get several new fields (including preparer, prepared for, and comments) and you can place them at the bottom if you don’t like them up top.

Not without hacking the report, but you can maybe adjust what you need via editing the style sheet from within GnuCash. (like above) You can specify colors, fonts and sizes. Simply assign a bold font to the particular element you want. Note, it might take some trial and error to figure out which settings affect which elements in the report. Not all reports will have all elements. (like when you hide transactional data)

You can also achieve all of this by exporting or copy/pasting a report to a spreadsheet app like LibreOffice and manipulating from there.
