italics
Say I want to italicise text - e.g. a proper name - but not the punctuation
mark - e.g. a comma - that follows it. How can I do this? If i 'de-italicise' immediately after the italics these disappear; if I don't the succeeding punctuation mark is in italics and I have to deitalicise that. What's the work-round? thanks |

Using Ctrl+I to toggle italics should work (press Ctrl+I before you start
typing, and press Ctrl+I again before typing the comma). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "kar201245" wrote in message ...

You may have the unfortunate "Smart Selection" option turned on, which
prevents you from selecting less than an entire word and whatever follows it. Or, you could turn on the AutoFormat As You Type option that italicizes anything that you type an underscore _ before and after (if there's a space before the first one).
