bold

[Carol Ress]

My boss is always wanting stuff 'normal' bold and then
some things in the same document 'lightly' bolded. Is
there a way to do that?

No, but you could run the following by him/her.
For the 'lightly bolded' text apply the bold option then set the font colour
to a very dark grey instead of black.
You might want to create a character style for this

Hi Carol

With decent fonts, there is. You get to have types of standard, medium,
and strong "strength".

But usually, those are not free.

....Or use Arial/Bold and Arial Black (though I prefer the latter over
the bold anyway )
