Say I want to italicise text - e.g. a proper name - but not the punctuation
mark - e.g. a comma - that follows it. How can I do this? If i 'de-italicise'
immediately after the italics these disappear; if I don't the succeeding
punctuation mark is in italics and I have to deitalicise that. What's the
work-round?

thanks

Using Ctrl+I to toggle italics should work (press Ctrl+I before you start
typing, and press Ctrl+I again before typing the comma).

You may have the unfortunate "Smart Selection" option turned on, which
prevents you from selecting less than an entire word and whatever
follows it.

Or, you could turn on the AutoFormat As You Type option that
italicizes anything that you type an underscore _ before and after (if
there's a space before the first one).
