Underlining
and Italicizing
Italics give words a special designation. Anything that should be underlined in writing may be italicized when using a word processing program. Underlining and italicizing are the same thing, but you never do both. So what do we italicize?
· Titles of books, magazines, newspapers, movies, paintings, ships, television shows (series, not individual episodes), ships, aircraft, court cases
· Foreign words and phrases
· Letters used as words
· Words that we want to emphasize
