Carrie, Usually underlining a passage is done to indicate that it should be printed in italics but I have a book with both underlining and italics in some of the same passages as well as underlining without italics and the reverse.'' I am tempted to remove all undelining of passages and having all of them being in italics since that is the standard but without the original text I am not sure which way to go. Please advise.
