[comp.sys.mac] PageMaker/Word Italics

mr2t+@andrew.cmu.edu (Michael Tod Rose) (10/16/89)

This is a problem I've been having for as long as I've used PageMaker. 
Occasionaly, text that is specified as italic in Word will import as:

a) italic (most common, but that's what you'd expect :-)
b) plain (uncommon but annoying)
c) mixed plain and italic (usually the first few characters of an
italicized word or sentence, extremely annoying and ugly to boot)

I haven't been able to discern a pattern, and I've been using PM/Word
for a couple of years now.  Does anyone know the reason for this
two-facedness, or (heaven forbid) a solution?

thanx,
