Mint Tea Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Is there a way to select only the numbers in a Microsoft Word document? Otherwise is there a macro or a setting so that every time you type a number it appears bolded? I mean in numbers in text, not bulleted numbers. Doing an outline... Thank you.

0 sc302 Veteran Posted July 10, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2011 In 2007 and 2010 you can....not sure about earlier versions In the home tab, in the paragraph section, you will see your numbered bullets, there is a down arrow, click it. Click define new number format Click the font button Change to bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mint Tea Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thank you for the quick reply - it's helpful for bulleted text, but I was wondering about non-bulleted numbers. For example, if I write a sentence with mid text formating (1) (2) (3) etc. but in a non-bulleted format, I'm looking to see if I can make those numbers bold.

0 sc302 Veteran Posted July 10, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2011 You will have to ctrl + b when you want to make those numbers bold. there is no way to do this as far as I know automatically....perhaps some sort of auto format but that would screw up everything you type after this document that had numbers in it. In other words, type type type ctrl+b number ctrl+b type type type type ctrl +b number ctrl+b type type type type. that isn't really an outline though, and outline is 1. blah blah blah blah <tab>A. blah blah blah 2. blah blah blah <tab>A. blah blah blah example of a typical outline, and what I was taught what an outline should look like way back when when we used typewriters to type: If you google "example outline document" you will find many examples similar to the one I show above.
