Notepad automatic text formatting

[sas05u]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Everytime I highlight a word or phrase and 'bold', 'underline' or 'italicize' it, the next bullet point in my outline list automatically starts with that format. I have to manually change it back to 'normal' font attributes every single bullet point unless I start a new list.

Is there a way around this? Thanks

One thing that will help: Go to Tools> AutoCorrect ‹ AutoFormat As You Type
then remove the last check pertaining to "Format beginning of list...".

It would be even more beneficial to learn the use of keystrokes to toggle
those formatting options on/of as needed ‹ especially when using Notebook
Layout View (I'm assuming that's what you mean by "Notepad");

Underline = Command+U
Bold = Command+B
Italic = Command+I

If you don't use the keystrokes it will also help to get in the habit of
pressing return to create the next bullet point *before* changing the
formatting of the last/only item on the preceding line.
