Default Can you insert a Style within a Style

Glad I could help (with part of the question).

Your reply was quite helpful on the second part of the question. I

really
appreciate that.

On the first part, in Word 2007, when I try to insert text that is

formatted
differently on the same line as a particular style it changes the

whole
line. Is there any way to do that and not change the properties of the

style
preceding it.

For example. If I have a three word heading. And then flush right on

the
same line I want to insert a shaded word in a different font that has

a
number with it. Is there a way to do that without changing the style

of the
preceding heading. The other complication is that I will want to do

this on
the same line as several different styles of headings.

Should these numbers be sequential (in the body of the document)? If

so,
you could use SEQ fields:

1. To insert a SEQ field, you can press Ctrl+F9. Word inserts field
delimiters, { }. Type SEQ myseq within the delimiters. Note that

"myseq"
is just an example; you can choose any name you want.

To insert the next field, you can repeat the procedure or just copy

and
paste an existing field.

Observe that SEQ fields do not update automatically, which will be
especially apparent if you used copy and paste to insert them. To

update
the fields, switch to Print Preview and back. Or you can select the
whole document and press F9.

2. Bookmark the numbers and then insert cross-references (via the
Cross-reference dialog box) to those bookmarks at the desired

location.

Alternatively, if the numbers should not be sequential, do this:

1. Create the answer section first. Assuming that this should be
sequential, you can use automatic numbering. For example, you can

apply
the built-in List Number style.

2. Via the Cross-Reference dialog box, insert a cross-reference at

the
desired location to each of those numbered paragraphs.

1. Can you change styles on the same line? I want to insert into

my
document
"text markers" alerting the reader of the number for the correct

answer given
at the end of the manuscript. This will usually follow a question.

So:
. I want to insert "Answer #" usually on the same line as the

question
. The formatting of the line I insert it on will not always be

consistent
. The answer marker must be formatted consistently in a grey

pattern
box
. The answer marker must be to the far right of the page (ideally

always at
the same location)

How can I insert such a marker without changing the style of the

text
preceding or following it? If I must always place it in its own

line,
it
doesn't look right and adds up to a lot of space over the course

of an

entire
300 page document. I am avoiding insertion as a graphic because

through the
course of editing the numbers frequently change and I have had

problems with
shifting graphics.

2. Also, is there a way to link the answer # in the body of the

document
with the corresponding # at the back (similar to what one does

with
footnotes) so that the numbers change automatically when questions

are
added
or subtracted while editing?
