I wonder it Daisy accentuates bold and/or italic words. I dodn't kknow if K1000 works at all like word, but with word you can blacken the whole file and then hit maybe Control and B to make everything bold and then hit it again to de-Bold evereything. On the Mac keybourd it's the apple key. I don't know what, if anything the Control key does. I seem only ever to use the apply key and the Optiont/alt key.
