control over bold and color
i use styles exclusively. occasionally, i want to bold or color a word within
a style (e.g. heading 1). when i do this, a new style is created (e.g. heading 1 bold). if the heading 1 style is later updated, the heading 1 bold style may be overwritten and the bold is lost. is there an SGML-like method where I could use control codes (e.g 'slash B' preceding the word and 'slash' following the word) that would make the word bold when printed or displayed but would not introduce a new style in the middle of a 'master' style? |

What you're seeing are not really new styles, just "formatting." You won't
see them at all is you clear the check box for "Keep track of formatting" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options. Ordinarily when you reapply a paragraph style, text with direct font formatting will not be affected unless the text is selected or if you specifically reset the formatting (with Ctrl+A). -- Suzanne S.

Ordinarily when you reapply a paragraph style, text with direct
font formatting will not be affected unless the text is selected or if you specifically reset the formatting (with Ctrl+A). Which version? It doesn't work that way in Word 2003... BTW, If the style is updated (modified, copied in from somewhere else), the bold formatting shouldn't be removed, but may toggle if the "Bold" font setting is different before and after the update. In general, you're safer from loosing formatting if you use character styles instead of manual font formatting. Regards, Klaus |

Oops, sorry Suzanne: I had a brain fade. It works as you wrote (exception: when more than 50% of the characters had been bolded). Klaus |

And I'm not sure where "Ctrl+A" came from in that post, either. I assume I
must have meant Ctrl+Spacebar, but I seem to have been impaired at the time I wrote it, so who knows? -- Suzanne S.
