When I send a .doc file to Kindle using the CONVERT feature, this preserves most formatting, including endnotes (which function nicely as internal hyperlinks) but it strips all italics. Since there quite a bit of latin text in some of my documents, this is a real loss. What can I do to preserve italics? Is it possible to insert any sort of HTML-like code directly into the .doc files? I've found, in general, that the .doc files work better for me than using Calibre to generate .mobi files. But the italics bit is annoying.

Thanks.
