If a paragraph of text uses a paragraph style that is defined as bold,

could just apply a character style that also has bold formatting; the
result
will be "not bold."

I have a paragraph style "Byline" that has Bold as part of its default
paragraph style. I'd like to create a character style called "Start
byline"
that removes the bold formatting from the beginning of the byline.

Is this possible? The opposite is no problem as you can easily define a
character style that _adds_ bold to a normal style. And when I manually
change the text to normal, Word detects that it has now "Not Bold" as
an
additional property.

But it seems impossible to do this in a character style, even when I
try
to
update the character style to the selected text.

I use Word 2007 and any tips are appreciated!
