# Bold text | ||
|
||
Use bolded text to call attention to words or phrases that will help the Veteran understand the content on the page. | ||
|
||
**Note:** Don’t use italics. It doesn’t show up well on a screen, and sometimes it can be harder to read than normal text. | ||
|
||
**Use bold text only in these cases** | ||
|
||
- The explicit set-up line that comes before bullet points that states something like this: “Both of these must be true.” [See this page](https://www.va.gov/pension/eligibility/) | ||
- The “and” or “or” that comes at the end of each line in a bulleted list | ||
- The first part of a sentence, for scanability, when there’s a need to clearly set apart, for instance Veterans who fall into different eligibility categories. [See this page](https://www.va.gov/health-care/eligibility/) | ||
- Numerals, for scanability, that we know the Veteran is on the page to look for—like a dollar figure. [See this page](https://www.va.gov/housing-assistance/disability-housing-grants/) | ||
- The different types of accounts through which you can sign in to VA.gov: My HealtheVet, DS Logon, and ID.me. [See this page](https://www.va.gov/health-care/view-test-and-lab-results/) | ||
- When there’s a “Note:” or “Example:” [See this page](https://www.va.gov/pension/veterans-pension-rates/) | ||
- The design element or text link we want the user to click on when we’re walking them through online instructions. [See this page](https://www.va.gov/health-care/get-reimbursed-for-travel-pay/) | ||
|
||
**Don’t use bold in these cases** | ||
|
||
- Any part of a text link, since the blue and underlining sets apart that text enough | ||
- Words used to emphasize a point being made in the text, like “only if” |
