Mixed Font Format in one Style
Is it possible, using Word's Styles, to have multiple fonts on one line?
In my case I've set up a hanging indent style for a heading that is 11pt Arial/Bold on the left then 9pt bold/italicized at the indent (the right side of the page). I've managed to do it using VBA but I'm interested in making my life as simple as possible which, I might add, learning how to use Styles" has accomplished to a great degree! -- Regards; Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Dayo;
Thanks, I'll have to get into it in more detail but I don't *think* that it is exactly what I want although it is along the same lines by the look of it. Specifically what I'm doing (via VBA) is capturing the Heading, concatenating it to a tab and inserting it with the heading, which, seeing as the heading style is a hanging indent, means that the copied value appears on the right side of the page. I then select the newly inserted text and modify the font. Again, thanks - maybe when I look at the article a little harder it will give me a hint. -- Regards; Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Dayo Mitchell" wrote in message news:BCB02E40.29794%dayomitchell_1997@NOhotmailSPA M.com.invalid...

Hi Rob,
Yeah, I wasn't quite sure. The article's about getting two styles on one line, essentially. I'm having a hard time picturing what you are doing but figured it was worth referring you to, in case there was something there you could adapt. Did you check into StyleRef fields, which can pick up the Heading text and then have their own formatting? Of course, VBA, once you've got it to the point of being added to a toolbar, does make your life more simple--looking for an alternative to a VBA method isn't necessarily worth it from that point of view.

Dayo;
It works! Your comment about "..two styles on one line" made me go back and look at the reference more closely, as this was what I wanted, and realized I was "missing the forest for the trees". (Got my old head too hung up on the TOC references) The "Hidden Paragraph Mark" section solved the problem. I defined my own "Heading" as a hanging indent and inserted a tab at the end of the text and defined a following style (with a different font) to be indented (left) at the same point. When I hide the Heading para mark, poof I get exactly what I want! I can see why MS is including this in Wrd02 (why is it all the features I want are never in my version(s) :-)) . Thanks, I'm a better person now! -- Regards; Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Dayo Mitchell" wrote in message news:BCB0867C.29803%dayomitchell_1997@NOhotmailSPA M.com.invalid...

Glad it helped. Suzanne Barnhill's article, of course.
