Ok, Gene....I'm not real sure exactly what you are asking....(kinda hard when you are rummy...LOL)...but, here's three things that might get you pointed in the right direction.. If I'm understanding you correctly, if you want to find bold text and replace it with regular text, I explain how to do that here: http://www.personal-computer-tutor.com/findreplace.htm And I don't know why text would come into your document in bold in an "index"...are you sure you're not talking about a Table of Contents? If so, TOC's are built on Styles....so if some text is based on the Heading 2, style and that style is set to come into your TOC as bold, that's what will happen. Look at the style on the text that is not coming in bold and apply that style to the text that is coming in bold....or modify that style and remove the Bold from it. If your page numbers are restarting at 1 every so often, this means you must have Section Breaks. Go into the Header/Footer view of a page that is starting at 1 and look at the page number properties (accessible from the Header/Footer toolbar) and make sure it's set to "continue from previous section" If this is NOT what you are asking, try again when you've sobered up LOL Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Edwin E. (Gene) Wagner Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 8:56 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Word Large Doc Content page and Index Ok all you nice people I have a large document, Unknown pages broken into thirty parts right now with about 1/3 done when I run the content from the Master document The first line is always BOLD? When I run the index some of the index are (is) Bold and of course that makes that entry double? What I have found I can do, is make those pages Bold and it index's right?? But now I have to change things when it is printed?? Must be something I could look for and replace that is doing it but right now I have worked on it all day and can't find the problem. Also I need some research so I can make the page numbers come out right from one part to the other with out watching them go bad<g> Must be away to make them start where the last one left off? Hope this makes sense I am a bit rummy right now!
