Right, now if you see the original report, MS Word includes an option switch which lets you choose which behaviour you want; and our current behaviour matches the default setting; the user would like the same option because for their work they prefer the other behaviour. So if you see the suggestions I put at the end of my original report, I suggested that we either provide the same option that Word has, or we instead have an explicit command to do it; e.g. a toggle-bold-immediately that doesn't do the clever word boundary detection etc. This is quite interesting, in that both V.S.F and yourself both thought this was obvious but the actual behaviour we implement is much more subtle! Some people just want the obvious behaviour.
