Happy editing! :)

Awesome! Thanks. First thing I took care of was my fan video thread...fanfics come later...but at least I don't have to worry about including everything within a 5 minute span anymore!

Maybe not, but when I'm looking at a 3,000+ word chapter that may have around 100 italicized words/phrases, that's a lot of extra typing/coding, especially when I'm used to, and in the habit of, just highlight-&-click for italics. No biggie, just not something I'm used to doing.

There's also ctrl+i to turn on Italics in Word. Then just do it again to turn it off. At least that way your hands aren't forced to leave their spot on the keyboard.

Yes, that's my method for doing most of the stuff to the font since it's quick... on here I just double-check to make sure what thoughts are italicized, but I tend to forget. I don't mind forgetting...usually I link to ff.net somewhere in the beginning of the thread and it's correct on there.
