Functions as intended => NAB

You can disable the Autocorrect of bold, italic, strike through or underline from the Auto Correct Options dialog -> Options tab. Or you can immediately revert the autocorrection with a <Ctrl>+Z entry.

How odd.  So where is this option setting exactly?

Thanks.  I didn't think I missed anything under Options.  However, I would have thought it should have been there, too.

In any case, it is an extremely stupid setting to have as a default.  What a PITA.  I wish someone would fix that.
