That is a great idea, but even John said the old emphasis code was such a
can of worms! That's why he decided to go the macro route. I just never saw
an email about how the macro bit could solve the emphasis issues which we
need for italic, bold, underline in UEB.
We have a new volunteer starting Friday so I hope will soon be able to
reverse engineer the macro code and hopefully give us a solution.
