Hi Linda,
Yes this is normal behavior because the variables are "refreshed" every time you open the document. You need to apply the character tag as part of the variable format definition. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Now, I apply the char tag, see the change (bold or italic), but when I reopen the file, the char tag formatting is gone. Is this normal behavior? I'm using this in just a few places with things like product names when they're in a book title or when they're part of a menu selection (Start > Company name > product name). I'd really hate to have to create bold and italic versions of these variables in each file. There are already quite a few variables, and I really don't want more. Ideas?
