bold (or unbold) section of text instead of bold toggling
Is there an easy way to turn bold on or off for an entire section of text? Ctrl-B (or clicking B in the toolbar) toggles bold, but if some text is already bold and some is not and I want to change everything to be one or the other, it can be time consuming.
Is it possible to change the behavior of Ctrl-B so the first time I click it bolds (or unbolds) everything selected instead of toggling everything? It seems like I've seen that behavior, but maybe it was in another tool. Thanks! |

Select the entire range then apply or remove the 'Strong' character Style.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response. How specifically do I apply a 'Strong' character Style? Cheers, Burt |

The same as you'd apply any other built-in Style, via the Styles pane. You could even assign a shortcut key to it. Selecting the same range and pressing Ctrl-Spacebar will remove the attribute.

Note that with some QuickStyle Sets "Strong" style is something other than Bold. I doubt this will be a problem for you.
(I went so far as to repurpose the Ctrl+B command to apply the strong style on my computer. The equivalent style for Italics is the Emphasis style. There is no Bold+Italics style built-in.) |
