Default Numbered list- want to color just one word with color, not number


Hi,

When you select and change the formatting of all the text in an item in a
numbered list, the new formatting will also be applied to the number.
However, if you select and change the formatting of only part of the text in
an item in a numbered list, the new formatting will not be applied to the
number. Thus, you can achieve your goal if you would select all the text
except, for example, the last character, apply the new formatting, and then
select only the last character and apply the new formatting to it.

Using Word 2003. I have number lists with a word like:
1. bread
2. butter
3. meat
4. candy
When I color the word, the number is colored along with this. I can select
undo and correct it but that is a pain.
Is there some setting that will allow me to just pick the word, change its
color, and not have the preceding number pick up the color?
Thanks for any assistance with this item!
