I'm using Word 2000. What's the difference between Italic direct
formatting, and Italic styles? I have set up a character style for
italic. When I insert a document, some of the italicized words update
to match my custom italic style. Others do not -- they show up as
style "normal." =20

I have took the italic icon off of my toolbar. But I sometimes
use the control+I shortcut. Do I presume correctly that those
keyboard shortcuts apply direct formatting? Do I presume that I may
assign that shortcut to my italic style instead? =20

I keep hearing that "styles are better than direct formatting."
Ive been working on learning this. =20

Why does Word even have direct formatting? Does it have any use?
