I've got a numbered list in my document. In some of the numbered items, the first word is bolded; in others, it is not.

The numbers are also bolded and unbolded. Is there a way to make all the numbers bold?

In the Bullets and Numbering section of the Text Style you're using (or in the Paragraph panel if you're not using a Text Style) you'll find the function you want.

In a Text Style it will look like this:

If all you want is Bold, you should be able to simply change that [No Style] to Strong (one of the choices in the pulldown list). If you wanted additional characteristics, you could define a new Character Text Style, and then choose it from the pulldown list.

In the Paragraph panel you'll find that field here:

Thank you @walt.farrell! You answered my question (and fast!) and I learned a few things...

I am still very new to Affinity Publisher. I used PageMaker a loooong time ago and DTP has progressed a lot since then. I'm reading the excellent Affinity Publisher Workbook every day...

Today I learned about the Paragraph panel and the Text Style panel to fix the issue I was having with bullets. Along the way, I learned about inline graphics and setting them to Baseline or Descender... Descender made my document look better, so I'm using that now!

Thanks again for your assistance.
