Hi mayrie. Kurzweil has a similar setting for bold or italicized text. If I remember correctly, it's in the voice settings or reading settings dialog. I made a settings file in Kurzweil called "proofreading" that adjusts the voice rate, punctuation, and bold text indication. I load it when proofreading and then go back to my default settings file for pleasure reading. If I'm not explaining this very well, please ask. I feel addle-brained this afternoon. I'll be glad to help you set it up, either on the phone or Skype. Also, before I forget, pressing control shift b in Kurzweil toggles bolding of selected text.
