Brian: I sent you the following, with screenshots, to your e-mail:
The easiest way to see this is via screen shot. Please see attached. For the person attached I entered the birth information, hit ALT+2 to record the Master Source. "Prompt for Detail" is enabled, so the Source Clipboard appeared. Under Text/Comments I typed some additional citation information, for which the citation rules require a portion to be italicized. (Screen shot 1). I hightlighted the material and clicked the italicize button. The text, as expected, italicized. (Screen Shot 2). Notice that the Output Preview changed as well. I clicked "Add this Source Citation ..." I saved the record and noticed on the Assigned Sources screen, the Detail Comments shows the additional text properly formatted (Screen Shot 3). BUT .. when I re-enter the Source Detail screen, and click the Text/Comments tab, the formatting has been removed. (Screen Shot 4). If I click Save again, the formatting has now been removed on the Assigned Sources screen as well. (Screen Shot 5). The additional place this occurs is when entering data on another line, say Death. Because Legacy remembers the data in the Source Detail clipboard, when I hit ALT+2 and the clipboard appears, all of the information I had entered before is still there ... good, because they came from the same source. But, I can't simply save because the Source Detail formatting is wrong -- in this case, the italicized portion is no longer italicized.
