I'm writing a long, technical document that uses a lot of ordered lists in Pages '09. Often when I bold or italicize the first bit of text I type for a list item it Pages applies the same styling to the letter or number of that list item. It's been doing this for the first 13 pages I've written and now I've found out that I need to undo that.
Is there any place to change this behavior or easily fix existing list item numbers/letters that are styled?
The only way I've found is to select the whole list item (all of its content) and removing teh styling (un-bolding and un-italicizing) and then going back in and re-applying my stylings to its content. Definitely not ideal.
I have Microsoft Word on my Mac but really would rather not use it. But yes, Word gives more fined grained control over lists. – donut – 2011-01-11T03:21:59.877
OK, you could use it just for the final touch, after the list is complete. – Cerberus – 2011-01-11T03:33:12.063
I've actually tried using Open Office and it failed pretty badly at opening the .doc file, Pages did a much better job. – donut – 2011-01-20T16:49:32.210
@Donut: So have you tried what I suggested for Word? P.S. In my experience, Open Office has never failed with opening .doc files. But your file could be a specialised exception. – Cerberus – 2011-01-20T22:01:55.773
