well, here goes.

Buy AppleWriter.

in AppleWorks, there are only four commands that can get turned on or
off in the middle of a paragraph.  They are Bold, Undeline, Supescript,
and Subscript.  The others will only turn on or off during a paragraph
break.  Note that all are turned off by a paragraph, i.e. if you turn on
bold, then end a paragaph, the next paragraph will not be in bold.  The
way to get around this is to set the Bold End option to a null, and make
a fake character pitch equal to the turnoff code.
Anyway, that's the basic idea.  I myself use applewriter.  You can't get
a better, more powerful wordprocessor.  soon I hope to have it modified
enough to not only print screen dump, but to use a modem, etc.  I use
the DOS version, as I'm not so hot on ProDOS.  You can print pages and
pages continuesly with WPL, as well as make great glossaries, do
fantastic formlettering, etc.  It  is well worth the money, though you
should look for the DOS version rather than the ProDOS version :-)

I'm not positive about everything I just said, except that AppleWriter
is the best word processor around.  the info I get is out of Open-Apple,
on of the best publications around for Apple owners.  They had one issue
devoted to AppleWorks.

Incedently, someone posted a whie ago asking how to get AppleWorks to
run on a ][+.  If anyone is still interested, I can give more info
now...
