------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Jan 6 16:54:52 +0000 2009 ------- The italics function on the word processor does not always work. In my work (academic) I often need to italicise many single words throughout a document. Sometimes the words can be italicized, but often they cannot. I typically do the following: - highlight desired word - hit apple/function key and "i" key Result: nothing happens, about half the time. Fixes: typically I close OpenOffice and restart, but this only works some of the time. Alternate methods: - type word -put cursor in the middle of the word -hit function/apple key and "i" key Results: same as above Also, using the character format feature results in same. Possibilities: I employ many foreign words in my documents, hence the need for italicisation. Many of these words have diacritical marks, though certainly not all of them. Perhaps the program gets "confused" with too many italicisations? Not sure, but this has been a persistent and annoying problem. Further notes: - This problem did not occur in MS Word, which I have now stopped using in favor of OpenOffice. - I can provide a document if necessary, although I use a specialized Mac specific font which I self installed - called Appeal - and unless one has it installed, the diacritical marks will looked garbled. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
