HELP with styles!

[Birdghirl]

I've recently created new styles in my firm's documents. I modified
the heading styles to want I wanted and it all worked perfectly. I
then decided to create different styles for schedules so that the
numbered clauses in schedules would not appear in my TOC. I created
schedule1, schedule2, schedule3 and 4, and formatted them the same as
my heading styles. Very occasionally one of these schedule styles has
to have bold text. Rather than create a style for this I just apply
the bold to the heading directly. This works perfectly in schedule 1
and 2 but when I apply bold to schedule 3 and 4 the number becomes bold
also. The main problem is that when I try to modify this (styles,
modify numbering, click on font and click regular) this removes my
outline number from schedule 1! I'm tying myself in knots with
this - Does this mean I have somehow broken the link between schedule 1
and 3 when I try to modify schedule3?? Any help is much appreciated.

Generally speaking, to remove font formatting from auto numbering, select
just the paragraph mark and remove the formatting from it (Ctrl+Spacebar).

Thansk Suzanne. I don't think I've explained this very crearly (my
message does seem to be verging on the rambling side). My problem is
when I try to modify my schedule3 style in any way, as soon as I hit ok
the numbering is removed from my schedule 1. It seems to me like when
I go into modify schedule 3, I'm going into the wrong number template
thingy - if so how can I check and fix it so that all numbering in the
schedules list is from the same template?

Are you sure that numbering is correctly set up for your schedule
series of styles? Open the Bullets and Numbering dialog box via the
style properties of the schedule 1 paragraph style and verify the
settings (for all levels), as described at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. Then
select the whole document and press Ctrl+Q, to remove paragraph
settings (including numbering) not in style.

Yes I did Charles. I set up my heading styles as described here then
set up identical schedule styles called schedule1, schedule2 etc.
Somthing must have gone wrong but I can't figure out what.
