Italic -- Styles v Direct
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." 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? I keep hearing that "styles are better than direct formatting." Ive been working on learning this. Why does Word even have direct formatting? Does it have any use? *(((({ |
