Multi-level list number formatting

Anonymous

Hello.  I need help formatting numbers in a multi-level list.  I have defined the formatting and layout as desired, with one exception:

On one of the levels, I want to set the number format to be: (i.) … (ii.) … (iii.) … etc...

Note that only the lower-case roman numerals are italicized and not the period or the parenthesis (though the period wouldn't really matter).

I know how to italicize the whole thing but this is not what I need.  If anyone could tell me how to do this or if it is impossible to do it, I would really appreciate it! 

Thanks!

Define the Style so the the numbers and the parenthese are in italics, and if you have finished editing your document, create a copy of the file and then on that copy, run a macro containing the command

ActiveDocument.ConvertNumberstoText

Then click on More in the Find and Replace facility and with the selection in the Find what control, click on Format>Font and select Italic and insert ( into that control.  Then move to the Replace with control and click on Format>Font and then select Regular and insert a ( into that control, then click on Replace All.  Do the same for )

    It appears to be all or nothing.
