Making text bold

[Nightlystroll]

I use the asterix at the start and end of my selected text but it never makes the text bold. What am I doing wrong?

Are you doing it without a space?

Are you doing it without a space?

Are you bolding something that goes onto a new line, but not using the asterisk for each new line?

I need to bold this
because it's important

Doesn't work

But

Works if you remove the spaces.

If you can still see the asterisk after you’ve posted, you have put a space before the first letter of the text you want to bold.
The asterisks have to sit tightly around the text, with no spaces.
Good luck!

Thanks everyone for getting back to me. No spaces but I think it's maybe run onto the next line. I'll give it a go doing each line.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll try putting asterixes at the beginning and end of each line rather than at the beginning and end of whole text.

You are all geniuses. Thank you.

woohoo

Glad it's all sorted OP!
