If you want to invert the _appearance_ of the emphasized/non-emphasized text, then you should change the base text settings of the non-emphasized text (and the emphasized text will then be modified accordingly). And that is what appears to actually be happening here (you are switching the default style to that used by emphasis and vice versa). But this has nothing to do with changing what is emphasized. IMO "emphasis" is a structural property that can be applied to elements of a document, not a typographical property (though it makes sense to depict such emphasized elements typographically and there are certain conventions for doing so on the traditional printed page). To make this clearer, imagine taking this document to the television screen, or the cell phone, or to the Braille language. There, your italic/non-italic/small caps has no meaning at all, but "emphasized text" does. And this brings me back to my original point that unless you are playing with the typography (which is LaTex's job) instead of defining text that should be emphasized, there is little need for a command to "invert emphasis" (unless we go back to my example of dyslexia) and a much more common need for a quick and easy way to "clear all emphasis". -Kevin (can you tell that I am waiting for the XML version of LyX?) :-) -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations
