Ahhh Ha!! Thank you for this little PC moment =] It took me a while to track down the Font formatting box and to find the box labeled hidden (bottom item in the right hand column). While the White-out trick helped, it was a pain in the neck…and at least I can see where the text is suppose to be in relation to the item in context. In he end it still does not answer the original question of how to do this within the Endnote software --and the time it took to resolve to the PC workaround on this. But it works and that’s what counts for now. Thanks again. Donna
