Hi Simon, Do you mean that the option should be selected automatically, with the dropping sheet eliminated (as in "always switch in this manner")? Ori...

AFAIK, it is already like you suggest. But you must have the variation (bold, italic etc) included in the font, no fakes in Mellel. Try that with another,...
