Question 1: How do you format autotext entries when you want to use all caps,
initial caps, small caps and italics?

Question 2. How do you terminate such an entry so that formatting does not
hook into succeeding text requiring that you undo it?

Make the replacement text exactly how you want it in your document,
select it, *then* fight with the autotext panel. Choose 'formatted' at
the appropriate moment. The selected text, or some weird facsimile
thereof will leap into the 'replace with' field as if by magic.

I forget the detail of ensuring the following text is back to normal. I
guess a trailing space properly formatted would do the trick, but
although I can remember fighting with that once or twice, I'm not sure
it is necessary.
