If you perform the action used to apply the effect to a block of
text in which that effect is used in places but not throughout,
it will apply it to the /whole/ block. You can then perform the
same action again to toggle the effect, i.e. to /remove/ it from
the whole block.
e.g. for the line of text 123456789, with 345 in italic and the
rest in roman:
i) Select all of 123456789
ii) ctrl-I to change all of 123456789 to italic
iii) ctrl-I again to change all back to roman
