Applying a character tag to a variable

Framers,
 
I feel like I'm losing my mind. =:-o I could swear that I have been able to
apply a character tag to a variable and have it "stick." Now, I apply the
char tag, see the change (bold or italic), but when I reopen the file, the
char tag formatting is gone.
 
Is this normal behavior?
 
I'm using this in just a few places with things like product names when
they're in a book title or when they're part of a menu selection (Start >
Company name > product name). I'd really hate to have to create bold and
italic versions of these variables in each file. There are already quite a
few variables, and I really don't want more.
 
Ideas?
 
Thanks in advance!!
