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.
