Hi Suzanne,

Yes, that's what I did. I'll go to "Format", click on "bullets and
numbering", and modify the style for certain headings.

Many thanks for your help.

It sounds as if you may have selected one of the outline types that are
linked to the built-in heading styles. The formatting of their paragraphs
is linked to the paragraph style, not the number format.

In Word 2003, I'm making an outline. I clicked on the "numbering"
button, and then went to "Format" and selected "bullets and numbering".
I chose the kind of outline I wanted, and Word has complied.

My problem is that Word formats every level of the outline in Boldface.
I went back to the box where one chooses the outline scheme and pressed
"customize". This brought up the box "Customize Outline Numbered List".
I clicked on "Font" which gave me the choice of fonts and fond styles. I
chose "regular" for most levels of the outline and then pressed OK a
number of times to go back to my text. Alas, everything in the outline,
including parts following my attempt to format, is still in boldface.

Is there a way I can choose to have some levels *not* in boldface (or
italic for that matter).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Good luck, Dan S
