Underline Title but not Associated Autonumbering

Is there some way to use character formatting in an EDD to underline the title text for elements such as Para0, Subpara1, etc. but not underline the autonumber characters that appear at the left end of each title?

Correct answer ScottPrentice

The AutonumCharFormat is a character tag name. You'd have to define the character tag in your template, and make sure the Underline property is deselected in that tag definition.

Not sure if you're doing this, but it's really best to have as much of the formatting and properties defined in the template rather than the EDD. Instead of setting an "Underline" property in the EDD for your paragraph format, just apply a para tag that's defined in the template. You can set the properties for that tag to include Underline or whatever you want without needing to edit the EDD.

The autonumber prefix can have it's own formatting. Set the autonumber to not have underline, and set the formatting of the "title" para to have an underline property. Should work.

Thanks. I see that under PropertiesNumbering where I declared my AutonumberFormat, there is also AutonumCharFormat. Is there syntax I can enter here that means "no underline"?
