Why does my font in WORD keep going into italics by default??

Question

Im not selecting itatics, it just keeps going automatically. I cant get it off, I try to click the button to take it off and it doesn't work.

Answer 1

It may be at some point you have accidentally set the default font to italics.
From Word help files, try the following:
On the Format menu, click Font.
Select the options you want to apply to the default font.
For Help on an option, click the question mark , and then click the option.
Click Default.
Any new document you open will use the font settings you selected.

Answer 2

It's possible that you have the 'end of document' marker set to italics and every time that you begin typing where you left off, it picks up the italics attribute again. Or any invisible character, like a space or tab can also have italics assigned to it.
Try doing this: Select the entire document by clicking CTRL+A then turn italics on then off again. That should remove all italics from the document.

A second theory - Perhaps you accidentally are pressing CTRL+I instead of SHIFT+I when you try typing a capital letter "I". CTRL+I = italics. Do you find that you are retyping upper case "I" when you thought you typed it correctly?
