Highlighted Bullet
I am editing a document someone else created. There is a list of numbered
items. One of the numbers is highlighted. I cannot remove the highlighting. Any ideas on how I can remove a highlighting from a bulleted item? -- Ronnie |

Highlighted Bullet
Is it just the number itself that's highlighted or the whole line? If it's
just the number, try removing the numbering, then reapplying. You can also try copying formatting from a line that's working (be sure to include the paragraph marker). It could also be that there's some hidden text in the line that's highlighted and only showing up on the number. Try showing hidden text and revision marks. (Displaying the markup will let you see if there are hidden comments that are causing the highlight.) If it's the entire line, have you checked to see if it's background shading instead of highlighting? Kathy Fielder www.DatabaseOasis.com "Ronnie" wrote: I am editing a document someone else created.

To add to (or reinforce) what Kathy has said, formatting that applies only
to an auto number is often formatting that has been applied to a paragraph mark. Even though you may think you have removed the formatting, or applied it carefully to everything but the paragraph mark, Word's "helpfulness" often works against you. Display nonprinting characters so you can see the paragraph marks, select just the paragraph mark, and remove the formatting from it. -- Suzanne S.
