bold numbering but not body text
Hi. I am trying to bold 4 out of 8 automatic numbers. As well I want just the first 4 numbers bold, not the text that follows. Everything I have tried ends up in all of the numbers bolded, and it also bolds the text. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Colleen. -- Colleen |

Try bolding just the paragraph mark of the numbered paragraph.

Usually people want to know how to *remove* formatting that's affecting
numbering even when it has been removed from the numbered item. This was just the reverse situation! -- Suzanne S.

bold numbering but not body text
i have the same problem but the solution to Suzanne's problem wouldn't work
for me although it used to... i have a numbered list (1 to 10), but i want numbers 3 and 4 bolded. now i know that if i bold the paragraph mark, the number for said paragraph will be bolded as well but for some reason this doesn't work for me anymore nowadays with documents i create, but when i open documents that i didn't create, it works (i can bold the number by just bolding the paragraph mark). i think it may have something to do with my settings, but which setting(s)? i have Word 2003 and i make sure that the Font Style field under "Font" in the "Customize Outline Numbered List" is blank... help!

i have a similar problem, but for some reason, the solution wouldn't work for
me. i know that if i bold the paragraph mark, the number would get bolded as well for said paragraph, but for some reason, this doesn't happen anymore with documents i create. it works for documents that i didn't create. it seems that somehow my formatting for the paragraph mark no longer affects my numbers. could it be something with my settings? i have Word 2003. i've made sure that the font style field under "Font" in the "Customize Outline Numbered List" is blank (and not set to just Regular, in case this prevents my number from being bolded when i bold the paragraph mark), but still, my formatting for my paragraph mark won't affect the format of the number for said paragraph eventhough i want it to....

In my opinion, use of the capital I would enhance he readability of your
post greatly and encourage more to reply...
