<DIV><SPAN class=397552023-26102011><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=397552023-26102011><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
