Is there anyway you can get it to keep the bold and underlined words too?

My pleasure, and I'll see if bold/underlined can fit in. Hmm. The thing is that for in-house use, we almost always want to remove those specifically. (Since bold and underlining come from OCRing as artefacts that drive us nuts. Or if it's a manuscript we're working with, then we convert underlines to real italics; net result still being no underlines in place.) Most of the texts we do don't have any intentional final-format underlining or bolding in them, so if we did encounter that we'd just add those back by hand in those rare cases. I understand where it'd be useful to others, though, so I'll see what I can do.
