Just out of curiosity, what font are you using? Does the font have a "bold but not italic" flavour? Is the text in one of your hand-made styles? Does the style have any strange characteristics? Does the "italicness" (italicity?) go away when you "un-bold" the text? What happens if you select the text and hit the Italic button? Twice? What happens if you select the text, hit Ctrl-M to remove all formatting and then try to "bold" it? -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
