one bullet is highlighted
I don't know what caused it, one of the bullets on a bulleted list was
highlighted in yellow. I reviewed the non print characters and the formatting codes but got no clue for it. I also made all possible attempts to get rid of the highlighting but was not successful. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks a lot. -- cly |

Answer: one bullet is highlighted
Hi Cly,
It sounds like you have a bullet point in your bulleted list that is highlighted in yellow and you're not sure how it got there. Don't worry, there are a few things you can try to get rid of it.
I hope one of these solutions works for you!

one bullet is highlighted
The bullet takes some of its formatting -- including highlighting -- from
the paragraph mark. Although you can't hightlight the paragraph mark on its own, you can highlight it along with the final word of the paragraph (at which point, the bullet will be highlighted also); if you then delete the highlighted word, the bullet still shows the highlighting. You can fix it by selecting the entire paragraph and toggling the highlighting; or display non-print characters, select the paragraph mark, and unhighlight it. "CLY" wrote in message ...

The last word/paragraph was not highlighted. Actually, highlight was not used
within the whole document, just don't understand why when that paragraph got bulleted, the bullet itself was highlighted in yellow.

As Jezebel was trying to explain, it's not anything visible that's
highlighted but the paragraph mark itself. This results from a peculiarity (I would call it a bug) in Word such that when you highlight anything at the end of the paragraph, even though you have nonprinting characters displayed and carefully select text excluding the paragraph mark, the paragraph mark gets formatted anyway. You then have to remove the formatting from the paragraph mark explicitly. Jezebel was suggesting a situation where this had happened and the highlighting had subsequently been removed from the highlighted text or (more likely) the highlighted text itself had been deleted, leaving only the paragraph mark highlighted. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you very much, Jezebel and Suzanne. Without your advice, I could never
figure it out. -- cly "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: As Jezebel was trying to explain, it's not anything visible that's highlighted but the paragraph mark itself.
