Applying style to first portion of a paragraph only
How I can I style the first couple of words of a paragraph (kind of
like a heading for the paragraph), without styling the rest of the paragraph which starts on the same line? And the first couple of words - the part that's styled - needs to be indented. For example: My Heading. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin commodo est at urna adipiscing lacinia. Curabitur est lorem, bibendum et condimentum non, sagittis sit amet diam. Donec in odio lorem. Maecenas vitae urna vel tellus placerat varius. Suspendisse non massa libero. Cras fermentum consequat nisi, faucibus porta dolor gravida et. (Where "My Heading" has the style applied to it so it's indented, bolded, and italicized. The rest of the paragraph is regular, non- formated text.) A paragraph style applies the formatting to everything, so that's out. I tried to create a character style, but these don't allow you to include indenting or tabs as part of the style settings. Any suggestions? |

put two paragraphs of different styles on the same line. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Applying style to first portion of a paragraph only
Another option is to use first line indent in the paragraph style, and to
use a character style for the first couple of words. This is sometimes easier to manage and a bit less tricky than using two paragraph styles. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
