[users] Unwanted italics - have to revert to M$ Office for the time being.?

[James Elliott]

A new phenomenon has occurred in my OOo 3.2 running under Windows XP 
which I have never encountered before, and I have been using OOo since 
version 1.0

When I select text and Bold it, it also becomes Italic in style.  What's 
more, I cannot get rid of the Italics by selecting the text and clicking 
on the Italic button or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+I.

As indicated in my subject line, I have some urgent work to get out and 
the only way I can present it in the required format (Bold /without 
/Italics) is to go back to my legacy versions of Word and Excel on an 
older computer.

I have looked under all the headings in Tools > Options > etc.  but I 
have obviously missed something.  Can any of you clever people tell me 
why text is automatically Italicised when I Bold it?

Many thanks,   James
