Ever so often, I have an endnote that was correctly formatted switch on me -- the title of the book will be in non-italic, and the endnote number, author's name, publisher, etc. will be in italic.
I haven't figured quite what has triggered this happening on my computer, but today my Dad told me that the indenting on one of his endnotes was messed up. I looked at the endnote in question, and saw that it was formatted as "normal" instead of endnote text. I highlighted the endnote, clicked on endnote text -- and voila! -- the italic and non-italic text had switched!
Does anyone know what is going on? On my computer, I thought at one point that I had accidentally switched the endnote number in the text from italic to upright, and that had changed the endnote text at the back. . . but now I'm not sure what we are doing!
Italics/Not italics trading places in endnotes
When you apply a style to a paragraph, and this paragraph has fragments emphasized in any way (I mean fragments with any extra font formatting), Atlantis tries to keep the original emphasis. In most cases, it is done through "inverted" formatting: bold fragments switch to non-bold, and non-bold fragments switch to bold; etc.
If you do not need to keep the "original emphasis" within the target paragraph, you can apply an extra command to the text of this paragraph after applying the style. Just select the entire paragraph text, and press Ctrl+Space. This will reset the font formatting of the selected text according to the font formatting of the paragraph style associated with this paragraph.
