That's the main reason I used WordPerfect instead, when I had to deliver 
my work in Microsoft Word format (about 1990-2000). WordPerfect has a 
"reveal codes" command, which makes it possible to see why the text 
suddenly is in italics...

And it could/can save in Word format, which my editors demanded.
