Reversed Bold and Not bold

[gordo]

Suddenly, when I open an existing document, All the non-bold characters are
bold and the bolded characters are non-bold. I do not understand what
happen, what I need to do and how to fix existing (one is very large)
documents to format correctly. Any help and insight would be greatly
appreciated.

Well, I'd save a backup copy of the document. Then I'd do this
Edit|Replac
Click on Mor
With the cursor in the Find box, Click the Format button at the bottom of the box and click Font and choose Not Bol
Move the cursor to the Replace Box, go to Format|Font and choose Itlaic (you'll change it back to bold in a moment)
Click Replace Al
Then, click back in the Find box and click No Formattin
With your cursor still in the Find box, Format|Font and choose Bol
Click in the Replace bo
Click No Formattin
With your cursor still in the Replace Box, click Format|Font and choose Not Bol
Now Repeat the steps to replace the Italics with Bold

Hi Gordon,

Probably you have accidentally changed "Format > Font" to Bold for the style
you use ("Normal"?).
Change it back to "Regular", and bold/not bold should reverse back.
("Bold" on top of a "bold" style results in "Not Bold" -- it's a toggle)

(Sorry for the private mail... I keep hitting the wrong button)

Greetings,

Thanks for the responses. Indeed, I had messed around with trying to get
the TOC to not be bold and somehow got the Bold format for the Normal Style
changed to Bold. After changing it back to not bold, everything reversed.
Whew, I was sweating blood red fonts about that one.

Thanks again,

Gordon

I don't know why that has happened, I'm sure someone in here will hav
an idea. However I do know a way to fix it. It's a bit long but i
will work in the short term.

You need to do a Find and Replace on formatting. Choose Edit
Replace. When you get the dialogue box click on More. You will see
format button. Make sure you are in the Find box and click Format.
Choose Bold. In the Replace box choose Red. Then Replace All. The
choose Regular in the Find and Bold in the Replace. Then Red in th
Find and Regular in the Replace.

This will work but as I said a bit long. Anyone else got any easie
ideas?

If you would post direct to msnews or even through the Microsoft Communities
instead of through Rubin's crappy "forum," you would see that all the
questions you are answering have long since been answered satisfactorily (in
many cases the OP has come back to confirm that the answer solved the
problem).
