Re: Single character in Italics.

Carl: also for the style DisplayFormula. But even if we do not know which cells to look at, and are not inclined to search for them, we can get rid of these italics by simply editting: - select all cells in the style sheet - convert them to cell expression - click at the top of the style sheet (to unselect the cells) - use Find>Find to replace all occurences of SingleLetterItalics->True with SingleLetterItalics->False - select all cells - convert all the cells into display form (instead of replacing of SingleLetterItalics->True with SingleLetterItalics->False we could remove it, but then we lose any record there is a little difference in that if we make an inline cell and give the enclosing cell the option SingleLetterItalics->True then with replacement this will not affect the inline cell but with removal it will. I guess we should also remove some unnecessary commas if we are remaoving the option) Allan --------------------- Allan Hayes Mathematica Training and Consulting www.haystack.demon.co.uk hay at haystack.demon.co.uk Voice: +44 (0)116 271 4198 Fax: +44 (0)870 164 0565 -----Original Message----- From: Carl Woll <carlw at u.washington.edu> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net >Hi Allan, > >An alternative is to change the style sheet with the option >SingleLetterItalics->False for the two styles Inline Cell and >TraditionalForm.
