possible bug in INITIAL WORDS controls

[Seadog]

Apparent bug(s) in Paragraph>Initial Words control panel.

1. Select Enabled. Set Max word count. Select Emphasis – italic is displayed

2. Select Enabled. Set Max word count. Select Strong Emphasis – bold italic is displayed

Possible culprit/solution: In the Text Styles control panel, Emphasis and Strong Emphasis items are captioned in italics (plain and bold respectively).

[Dave Harris]

Um, I think is working as intended. The default Emphasis style makes the font italic. Strong makes it bold, and Strong Emphasis makes it bold italic. That is reflected in the Text Styles panel if the Show Samples option is enabled. If you want to emphasis a different way, you can change the style.

Yes thanks, Dave, think you're right. I guess the default is not terribly logical as I don't think many editors would consider italics as their first-stop choice of typographical Emphasis. Plus, as perhaps shown by this discussion, it's quite fiddly here in AffPubl to a) find where to make this change and b) be bothered to mess around with it, anyway. For all the promise I feel AffPubl has, in some parts it's rather like my present VW: over-engineered, or solutions looking for problems.

You lost me here.
