Hmmm ... yes, but that is already the situation that I have - all *other* attributes are already "As Is". So, I don't understand your response per se! Can you elaborate, please? To iterate (in case I was not clear - my apologies): what I want to do is have a *single* Character tag (called "Emphasis"), that *automatically* makes the selected text Italic in paragraphs that have a default font that is Regular, and makes the selected text Regular (non-Italic) in paragraphs that have a default font that is Italic.
