Hitch, you're correct. When my clients send me a Word doc for a MAC, the italics are actually coded as Times New Roman Italic, not a valid font and Word can't find it. So my first step is to find/replace all TNRI and get them back to just font: italic. Then of course code all the italic instances so they make it through a purge of all formats. Then I can start anew. I've never had an issue Word/HTML/ePub/KindlePreviewer-mobi with italics. But there's a bunch of tweaking of the HTML and ePub on the way to that final mobi!
