Well, I did all this, but the problem remains. The "(A)" remains bolded on
the TOC while the title isn't

But how did you apply the bold formatting? ------------Through the Style
Tablature on the ribbon, I went to Change Style, then to my style
selection.
The styles appeared just to the left of the style change box on the
ribbon.
I then highlited the 3rd heading and right clicked to Modify. Then panel
opened up and I slected the bold button. I also clicked on font button
and
it too was bold.


I went to the multi level list as well, and the heading 3 the "A" was also
bolded as well, and the font indicated bolded too. When I removed the
bolding, the entire line was not bolded on the toc.

FIRST, MY SETTINGS MIGRATED FROM WORD 2003, AND I DO NOT REMEMBER
HAVING
THIS PROBLEM. THIS BOLDED HEADING #3 WAS BOLDEN BY PLACING THE CURSER
ON
THE
RIBBON STYLE BOX AND LEFT CLICK TO MODIFY, AND THE BOLDED BOX IS
HIGHLIGHTED,
AS I INSTRUCTED. I USE THE 2ND TABLE OF CONTENTS PRE SET BY THE
PROGRAM,
ON
THE REFERENCE/TABLE OF CONTENTS DROP DOWN

As direct formatting (by directly formatting the heading text) or by
adding
it to the style? Note that direct formatting will be reflected in the
TOC.

NO IT WAS NOT DIRECTLY FORMATTED. I CHECKED ALSO BY HIGHLIGHTING THE
"(A)"
AND THE BOLD BOX ON THE RIBBON WAS NOT HIGHLIGHTED. PLACING THE CURSER
DIRECTLY ON THE HEADING 3 TEXT, I NOTED THERE WAS NO BOX. THE BOLD
INDICATOR
WAS ON.

ON THE TOC, THE HEADING TEXT WAS NOT BOLDED BUT THE "(A)" IS

Also, did you change the font settings for the numbered list (in the
Define
New Multilevel List dialog box, there is a Font button)?

IN CHECKING THE NEW MULTLEVEL LIST DIALOG, THE FONT WAS BOLDED. WHEN I
CHANGE THE "A" TO REGULAR NOT BOLDED, AND UPDATE THE TOC, THEN THE
REFERENCE
WAS NOT BOLDED. HOWEVER, IN THE TEXT OF THE TITLE IN THE BODY OF THE
DOCUMENT, THE ("A") WAS NOT BOLDED, ALTHOUGH THE TEXT WAS.


I suspect you'd better treat the document as damaged. Delete the TOC and
save the document. Create a new document, set up the numbering correctly,
then copy the original document except for the final paragraph mark
(Ctrl+A,
Shift+Left arrow, Ctrl+C) and paste into the new document (Ctrl+V). Click
the Paste Options button and choose to "Match Destination Formatting."
Insert a TOC again. Does that fix the issues?

No, TOC 3 is not bold, nor are any of the TOCs, but thanks, I had
not
found
that so far in 2007. And yes, the multlevel is bold in the
document,
both
the "(A)" section numbering and the title heading. Its just that
when
it
gets taken to the TOC, the "(A)" is bolded but the titled heading is
not.
I
tried to do change the bolded letters manually in the TOC, but
nothing
changed, despite the fact that the Bolded indicator on the ribbon
said
I
was
changing something. I also highlighted several lines of the TOC and
entered
control+b, and the text dutifully bolded and unbolded, but not the
letter.

thanks.

Is the TOC 3 style bold?

Did you apply bold formatting to the third level of the multilevel
list?

news On Word 2007, when I issue command to create or update table of
contents,
the
third level, which is (A), (B) (C)... the abc is bolded, but the
description
title is not. I can't get rid of the abc bolding. Note that in
the
text
the
entire title is bolded, which is fine, but I don't want all the
table
to
be
in unbolded text, except for this abc. I tried doing it
manaually,
but
have
had no luck.
