Is there a way to turn off the automatic whole-word reformat with text styles (italics, etc.)?

Sorry I mean font format changes not style (per se). Like if I place the cursor in the middle of a word and hit CTRL+I, it italicizes the whole word. -- that's what I'm referring to.

Obviously this is convenient in most cases but it tends to interfere with how I like to insert edits when I'm in the zone. I seem to remember there was a toggle to turn this off, but maybe I'm thinking of another program?

You can uncheck the "Format without selection" option on the "Edit" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog.

Gee, I did not even know that it was possible to format a word without selecting the whole word.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks so much!

If you turn the option on and I turn it off, it thus proves Newton's law of conservation of Atlantis Word Processor settings.
