[B] Does this work for bold?[B]
Damn damn..

KHC, for bold you do this: [b] [/b only there is a ] after the second b. If I put it there, it won't show up.
I find the 2 words harder than 1 word because I have no idea where to start...a 2-letter word and a 9-letter word? 3 and 8? 4 and 4? etc. Does anyone have a better method?

that looks like RACONTEUR.
How about CORONAC ?
A common glitch in the "make-it-bold" routine is to use a Capital-[ (and ]), which are curly brackets {}. They spoil more efforts than you can shake a stick at! The slash at the end is _before_ the second B, thus left-square-bracket-b-right-square-bracket to start, put in your text, then left-square-bracket-slash-b-right-square-bracket.
Easier to do than to describe (like tying a shoelace.) Upper case or lower case B or b makes no difference. Putting spaces between the [] and the b or /b makes it not work.This message has been edited. Last edited by: haberdasher,

Another hint if you want one
Two days and no takers? I didn't think it would be _that_ difficult, especially with the clue that it's the Latin rendition of the Anglo-Saxon-oid word that preceded it. It's a medically-oriented word, I suppose, but it has entries in the "general" category in OneLook.com as well as the "Medical" category...
