Formatting/Underlining Question

[Bishop]

Using Word to edit a document

If you have say a subtitle 1. Subtitle

How do you make it so that just the word is underlined and not
the number e.g. 1. Subtitle

Have tried moving the cursor and so on, but it just seems to underline everything regarless of whether the number is highlighted or not

Thanks for any help

Format, Bullets and Numbering, numbering tab and select one that isn't underlined.

I don't seem to have any problems doing it?? I type "Subtitle" and selected a numbered bullet, then underlined. No problems. Something odd must have happened - try showing all formatting and field codes in Tools... Options... View tab

[edit] gazzae is right but the default bullets don't have underlining - you have to customise the bullet and choose the underlining, which includes an option to just underline words (and not the number). You didn't mention this, and it's a bit more advanced, so I discounted it

Its all to do with the backward P thing at the end of the paragraph, basically you have formatted the paragraph to be underlined, the paragraph includes the numbering.
