Formating numbering in Publisher

[Bosley]

Hello
I am trying to change some bullet poins into a numbered list. So I put my
cursor at the start of the line of text, and press the numbered list icon. It
turns it into a numbered list, which is what I want it to do (as I go to each
line I have to start the numbering at the next number in sequence, but that
is fine)
The trick is though, sometimes the numbers are bold, sometimes the numbers
are normal. How can I make them all bold or all normal (The text is all
normal)
Thanks so much!!!

===============================
Not sure which Pub version you are running
but I hope this makes sense...

In Pub 2007 I can left click / drag my cursor
across the list of text (point to bottom right /
left click / drag to upper left) to select all and
while selected...left click the Numbering or
Bullets icon and all will change. At this point...
all should be Normal or Bold but if not...just
click the Bold button.

Thanks for your reply, John. I should have mentioned that I am using 2003
(i've just ordered 2007 and am waiting for it to arrive!)
I tried what you suggested, but I still seem to have the problem of the
numbering being bold for the first 3 numbers, and then when I get to number 4
it becomes normal. The text isn't bold, so I'm ot sure what is happening. I
tried what you suggested, however only succeeded in making the text bold,
with no effect on the numbering!
Any other suggestions : )

Just to clarify further, when you go further down the list, it reverts back
to bold. So My numbered list is looking like this
1. is in bold
2. is in bold
3. is in bold
4. is in normal
5. is in bold
6. is in bold

All of the text is normal! Is there a way to change the formating of the
numbering so that it is bold or normal. What makes it go bold or normal
usually (is it to match the text?)
Helpppppp !!! Thank you !!!

=============================================
All I would know to do is to select all of the numbers
and text and then toggle the Bold button on and off...
that should make all selected characters normal or
bold. At least...that's what it does in my 2007 version.

Turn on the Special Characters, ( ¶ ), at the end of #4 highlight the ¶
(paragraph symbol) click bold.

Thank you for all you help John. Thanks Mary, that works!

 

[Mary Sauer]

Glad to help, Bosley, did you know if you highlight the paragraph symbol you
also can change the color of the numbers or bullets?

Thank you for all you help John. Thanks Mary, that works!
