![]() Choose “italic” from the “Font style” section and choose “none” as your underline style. Click “OK” and put your pointer in the “replace with” box. Instead of searching for words, click the Format button at the bottom left and choose “Font.” For the “find what” box, choose the single line underline style under the “underline style” dropdown menu. If that’s not the problem, there’s a quick fix on the Word side so you don’t have to manually fix each one. In that case, you can tweak the compile settings to avoid the behavior. It’s not uncommon to use underline in book manuscripts to represent italics, so if you’re using a template, that could be why it’s set up that way. The best thing I can think to do is check your compile settings. But you definitely shouldn’t be seeing italics changed to underlined text. From what I’ve read, some writers save formatting & style setup for Word after they finish with Scrivener, and others use things like special fonts not used anywhere else in the document so when they move to Word, they can do a quick find & replace to set up their style rules. And I don’t usually move larger manuscripts to Word, so unfortunately if that’s where you’re running into issues I’m not sure of the best course of action. for occasional freelance projects or blog posts (though I use markdown when writing the latter). ![]() I don’t do much document styling in Scrivener other than basic bold, italics, etc. That might at least help you figure out if it’s a glitch that support should be asked about or if you’re running into the bigger issue of style exports. I’d check for updates first to be safe, and try a clean test document compilation with basic formatting to see if it keeps it or if you lose that too. ![]() If you’re trying to use styles to format a larger manuscript, all I can think is that there’s some kind of conflict with the presets, or if not, perhaps there’s a bug in the version you’re using. But that would affect novelists more than those working on smaller freelance projects which this post was about - folks who would use Scrivener’s formatting more similarly to how they’d write directly in Word. I do know people have had issues when they use predefined styles / presets. rtf without messing up italics, underline, bold, etc. I’m not sure why you would see that happen? I just ran a test and it exported to both.
