>I agree that this is not professional, but if I do it this way then at least I don't get the problem I get when I use a character style (Emphasis) above. Not a question of professional use - more an issue of creating a time bomb that will hit you again ... later! If you ever change the paragraph definition later, all your manually applied italics might get "fixed" too! Far, far better to use character formats, believe me! :) Z
