Word's dictionary is only for checking spelling, and has nothing at
all to do with formatting. When you've finished writing the document, you can use the Replace function to format all occurrences of the word in italic. - In the Find What box of the Replace dialog, type the word. - In the Replace With box, either type the same word or enter the code ^& (which means "the text being found") and press Ctrl+I to turn on italics. Below the box you should now see "Font: Italic". - Click the Replace All button. If your word has multiple forms (plural noun, verb forms, etc.) you will have to run a separate Replace for each of them. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Or you could do it with an Autocorrect.
Enter the word in italics, select it and choose Tools AutoCorrect from the Menu. Enter the word in both the "Replace" and "With" textboxes (it will have pre-entered in one of them), select the "Formatted Text" button and click on "Add", then click on Close to dismiss the dialog. -- Enjoy, Tony "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Thank you kindly. I used Find and Replace, and it allowed me to make the
targeted word italicized every time it appeared in the text. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Word's dictionary is only for checking spelling, and has nothing at all to do with formatting.
