Sorry, maybe I'm not explaining myself very well.

No, my fault...

I'm not 100% clear what the desired result is.
Do you want the Heading to read

SECTIONOne

with "SECTION" not bold, "One" bold?

Or will there be a number on the left, too? Or text that follows?

If it's the simple case:
I understand that you already added "SECTION" in the "Numbering (Outline tab)
Modify..." dialog.
So when you apply "Heading 1", that text appears automatically.

"Heading 1" is Arial, bold by default.

So you'd need to make the numbering, "SECTION", not bold, and you're set, right?

In the numbering dialog, underneath the box where you entered the text
"SECTION", there should be a button for the "Font...".
If you click on it, you can set the font of the numbering to "not bold".
Back in the numbering dialog, you can also delete the tab stop, and set the
indent to your liking.

I hope this works for you, and that I understood what you want to achieve.

Generally speaking, you could also use a style separator, to have two paragraph
styles on one line. You'd insert that with Alt+Ctrl+Enter. But it's not very
often used, and unless your needs are more complicated, it shouldn't be
necessary.

Yes, you are correct, by "section headers", I was
talking about chapters...

I've modified the "Heading 1" built-in style to include
the chapter number by using the numbering format tab, and
I can add the word "Section" in front of it on the same
screen. Now, my text is the way I want it. So far, so
good.... (I want to use the Heading 1 style so that I can
number my chapters sequentially...but maybe that's my
problem?)

Where I run into trouble is that I want the word "Section"
to be a different font than the chapter number. I've
tried selecting some of the text and applying a character
style to re-format (which, if I understand correctly was
your suggestion), but once it is formatted with
the "Heading 1" style, it won't allow you to apply the
style to only part of the text. Nor will it allow me to
insert text in front of the number that was automatically
inserted by selecting the "Heading 1" style.

Maybe I'm just missing something very basic??

I fear we have a small communications problem here.

Both Suzanne and I assumed that with "section headers"
you meant "chapter
headings".
Correct so far?

Then all three ways that were mentioned should work.

To apply character formatting to some text, you select
it -- say "SECTION" in
your example--, and apply the formatting -- say
with "Format Font", or one of
the buttons and dropdowns on the formatting toolbar, or
by applying a character
style from the "styles and formatting" task pane.

You can discern character styles from other styles by the
small ª to the right.
It's not too difficult to define one of your own.

With my method, the word "SECTION" would appear, properly
formatted, each time
you apply the paragraph style, and when you type the rest
("One") it appears
automatically in the paragraph style's font.

Klaus

Thanks!

Or, if the "SECTION" part is always the same in all
headings, you could apply it
as "outline numbering".
You'd delete the number and type "SECTION" in its
place,
and there is a button
for choosing the font, color, size... which can be
different from the paragraph
style's font.

the TOC.

Does anyone know how to put 2 different fonts in an
outline heading style in Word 2003?

I would like to have my section headers look like
this:

SECTIONOne (with "SECTION" in Arial Narrow, regular
weight
and "One" in Arial Narrow, Bolded)

I can only seem to apply one font to the entire
section
heading using the Styles and Formatting toolbar
option.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
