= SUMMARY =

The following are two causes for blank fields (no option selected) in the Format Character and Format Paragraph command fields:


 * 1) If the highlighted text contains at least two different types of formatting, the field for that format type will be blank. For example, if the highlighted text contains both bold and normal formatting, the Format Character “bold:” field will be blank.
 * 2) Any highlighted text containing the endmark will cause all fields to be blank.

In Word version 5.50, the check boxes in the Format Character menu will display a hyphen if the highlighted area contains text with different character formatting.

Selecting the entire document with SHIFT+F10 does not include the endmark unless the cursor is on the endmark when the entire text is highlighted.
