Is there some way to put in italics, without entering Word?

You need to put markup tags on either side of the text that is to be italicized. For example, you'd type this:

<I>This text is to be italicized</I>

And you'd see this in the post:

This text is to be italicized

Using preview can be very useful in making sure you got the tags right.

A question I have always wanted to ask, but dare not. I actually fumbled around trying to put the instruction in front of the posters entry. It did not take. Now I have a new toy besides my too frequent use of bold . Thanks helping an old cowardy cat. LOL
