MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / December 2003Bold face type in numbering
I have a word document that is properly Outline Numbered. When I attempt to boldface the characters just after the numbering, the numbering also is boldfaced. How can I prevent the boldface from effecting the numbering? Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*), then select the paragraph mark and unbold it. -- Suzanne S.

The issue, however is not separated by paragraphs - both the numbering and the title that need to be boldfaced are on the same line. as in...... ' numbering BOLDFACE TITLE FOR SECTION body of section' - all on one line.... We have been working around it by selecting just a portion of the word following numbering - thereby boldfacing the word in 2 parts. It's terribly time consuming, although sometimes you can hilite the word and it does not effect the numbering - maybe 50% of the time. > Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*), then select the paragraph mark and > unbold it.

The point is that any formatting that is applied to more than half the text in a paragraph will also be applied to the paragraph mark. The formatting of the paragraph mark determines the formatting of the numbering. Even if you select the text very carefully to omit the paragraph mark, it will still be formatted. That's why you have to select the paragraph mark itself and remove the formatting. -- Suzanne S.
