I don't understand what you are saying.

In Word, in the Ribbon,  B  and I  and  U  highlight if the selected text is Bold, Italics and / or Underlined.

But you say "I have text that is bold and italicized.   however, in the ribbon it doesn't show up as bold or italicized."

Then you say "I don't want my text to be bold or italicized"  <--- So then click B  and/or  I when the text is selected.

Then you say "When I press "I", it bolds! "   <--- Really?  What happens when you press B?

Can you please clarify so we may assist.

Hi John Hurst.
You read correctly.
What you read is the oddity that is happening to my doc.
Bold button is italicizing the text  and vice versa.
I have text that is visually bolded and italicized and yet neither buttons in the ribbon are shown as active.
Strange.
I rebooted and everything is okay now.
I DID want to remove all formatting.
