I think she is probably talking about events. I have commented on this several times since the update to 8.0 but never received any replies. The side toolbar giving us ability to bold,underline etc. is no longer there. A huge disappointment. I used to bold the information in the event text that applied only to that specific individual but the event details would be copy/pasted exactly the same otherwise to all related individuals. It sounds like even if you copy/paste text with that sort of formatting won't even be recognized. I really wish they would bring that back. Based on this, it sounds like perhaps ALL of my old events have probably been reformatted to no longer recognize that bolding. Boo!
