how to italicize every instance of certain words

[Carol J. Elkins]

Framers, I'm looking for ideas on how to ensure that certain words 
and phrases in a document are always italicized whenever they are 
used. Perhaps someone knows of a script that will do this. If not, 
I'll ask Rick when he gets back on his feet. Ideally, there would be 
an external master list of the words to be italicized. When opened, 
the working file would access the master list of words and make sure 
that any word in the list is italicized when it appears in the 
working document. I should be able to add to the master list of 
words; I'm not concerned about what happens if I delete a word from 
the master list.

Restrictions: I'm not willing to do a search/replace operation every 
time a working document is revised. And I'm not willing to do 
anything more than type a word in the working document for it to be 
recognized as needing italics. Although I have Silicon Prairie's 
Autotext add-on, I don't think that it does what I need. I have a 
vague memory of MSWord or some elderly word processor (the only kind 
I'm familiar with since I'm elderly) having this functionality.

Any ideas?

Carol
