Hi everyone,
Is it possible to automatically underline a single number in numbered lists or automatic page numbers? for example if I want to underline only number 6 of a list? thank you

Create a new paragraph style based on the first on, use another character style for the number with underlining here,

It certainly doesn't appear to be through the user interface directly, but it might be possible through scripting.

I think it could be done with a GREP style as part of the assigned paragraph style AFTER converting a numbered list to regular text, but you would only want to do this after all editing is complete.

Isn't that odd! Using a character style, it appears to be possible to apply every modification to a list number except underline and strikethrough.

Even if you could, isolation to a single unique didgit would not be possible with a marker.
