Yes, I always say that she preconcivedly asked to cremate herself in 
order to avoid such troublesome turning.

Yes but sometimes words in italic have some stress or irony in them 
and thus affect the meaning.

The programs for copy and paste should be "friendly", otherwise the 
plain text is copied. Some programs have "paste special" option and 
you see there several options as "plain text", "rich text", "MS Word 
object", etc. Sometimes it needs to go through a chain of three or 
more programs to bring text or picture in good quality to the 
destination program.
