Hi,

Please can someone advise how to italicise text in shared work? I just tried HTML, but it didn't register.

Thanks!

Hi Renee, Debbie, Asuntha,

I remember underlining text to indicate italics when I began my career in editing, working on hard-copy typescripts! Sometimes my biro would blodge, then there'd be a real mess.

I think I’ll stick with *this* for now, but it would be great if shared work used the same template as our personal profiles, with a range of formatting tools and the option to paste from Word. Just a thought!

F.
