PowerPoint automatically change to bold one of the numbering in a list that contains bold font

Question

As you can see, the number 2 is in bold font, even though the number 1 is not. I assume this is because the second item starts with a bold-font word. But aesthetically, this is terrible. Is there a way to avoid this automatic bolding feature? I can not select the number unfortunately.

Answer 1

There is currently no direct way for doing what you're trying to do. You need a workaround:

1. Select M and use Ctrl+B to unbold it (This change is just temporary)
2. Place your cursor on the left of M and go to Insert > Symbols
3. Now here in the dialog box, Ensure that Font: (normal text) and form: Unicode(Hex) is selected.
4. Type in the character code as 034f (also known as Combining Graphene Joiner) and click insert.
5. Make 'M' Bold again by pressing Ctrl+B.
