Problem with bold numbers in multi-level list styles when having numbered headings AND paragraphs
I'm writing a template for local quality procedures for a chap who insists on having both headings and paragraphs numbered, and have run into a problem keeping the numbers non-bold.
I'm implementing the numbering as a different un-numbered paragraph styles linked to the levels of a multi-level list style, the method I learned from the Shauna Kelly site and which has stood me in good stead for numbered headings schemes on several projects so far. However when I throw numbered paragraphs into the mix, I trip up over wrinkle about allowable combinations of bold or non-bold numbers and text. I've defined H1 and H1.1 styles by re-naming H1 and H2 styles and tweaking font sizes, colours, pre- and post-para spacing, etc. to get the effect I want. The key thing is that the heading text at both levels is bold. H1 is linked to level 1 of the multi-level list style and H1.1 to level 2. I then defined a new P1.1 style as inheriting from H1.1 (so it inherits the X.X numbering style and keeps numbers in sequence with H1.1 headings). I altered the other paragraph and font settings in the P1.1 style so that it looks like paragraph text (black, 11 point size, not bold, etc.). However turning off bold in the P1.1 style turns off bold in the paragraph number too. That's not a disaster, but it does mean the number of an X.X level heading is much more prominent than the number of an X.X level paragraph. Ideally, what I'd want, though, is for the X.X numbers to be non-bold for both level 2 headings and level 2 numbered paragraphs, whilst still having the actual text of the level 2 heading as bold. Like this: 2.1 An H1.1 heading (nos. non-bold, text bold) 2.2 A P1.1 paragraph. Neither numbers nor text bold. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna. I can't work out how to do this, though. If I don't set the bold button for level 2 in the multi-level list style dialog, then setting or un-setting the bold button in the H1.1 and P1.1 para styles will bold BOTH or NEITHER of each number-text pair. That lets me do 2.1 An H1.1 heading (nos. bold, text bold) 2.2 A P1.1 paragraph. Neither numbers nor text bold. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna. But NOT 2.1 An H1.1 heading (nos. non-bold, text bold) However if I set the bold button for level 2 in the multi-level list style dialog, then setting or un-setting the bold button in the H1.1 and P1.1 para styles has the effect of making the bold status of the number and text opposite to each other, i.e. I can now have bold H1.1 headings with non-bold numbers but I CAN'T have both the number and text non-bold in the derived P1.1 paragraph style. Is there anything I can do about this? Did I do the wrong thing by deriving the P1.1 style from the H1.1 style? (But how else could I keep the numbering consistent?) Or is this just a limitation of Word and I have to live with it? |
