Thanks for getting back to me - I've attached a document that was created in March 2004 and I think I was using Word at the time so it's affecting all my files. Now that I'm replying to you, again it's in italics, so it looks like it's affecting my emails as well.
I don't seem to be able to get it to fix at all, because it just won't revert to normal text at all.
Thanks for your reply - I just love Libre Office and recommend it to all my friends.
