It is industry standard behaviour to preserve the emphasis. I have added it to the bug list.MartinI have noticed that the same thing happens when one 'copies' a previously 'bold' section to another place in a document (ie. the Bold or Italic changes in the original is lost!). Should this happen? Chris.
Not in 8.73 ... 'bold' text copied to another place in the document still appears as bold.
Regarding the original question ... if bold or italic is applied to the letter space preceding a word, then overtyping the word will not lose the style/effect.
