Just highlight the text again in the Visual editor and click the Italic button again to return it to normal.

Thanks Macmanx, I did as you said… being careful not to include photos but as you can see here http://electrician101.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/life-as-a-residential-electrician/ some paragraphs refused to change back. They did change to standard on the visual editing page but after hitting “Update” the same paragraphs remained italic. ?????????

I’m not very good at HTML but I could try a fix there with advise.
On the HTML page, the first problem, italic, line says this;<div style=”margin: 0;”>
<div style=”margin: 0;”><span style=”font-family: georgia, serif;”>> Learning skills that can be used on your house and that of your family or friends.</span></div>
<div style=”margin: 0;”> -
Dear WordPress, it would be good for an author to be able to edit or delete their own comments instead of being required to add another post like this.
After posting the HTML above I noticed it did not copy exactly;
there is no >> after the word serif instead it says serif;”>> but I don’t think this is my italic problem since I deleted it and it only removed the bullet. -

You have a great deal of excess div and span tag floating throughout the post, which can typically happen through copying a post from elsewhere (another application or website) or excess editing.
These are causing all of the formatting problems.
I recommend editing the post and deleting all occurrences of the following things:
<div [anything]></div><span [anything]></span> -
Eureka! That must be it. I do like to edit often to perfect my articles.
Also, I moved to WordPress from Google Knol where I copied my original article.
I’ll try your recommendation and reply soon. Jim -

(Hey I’m supposed to say Thankyou first)
Your advise must be correct although I had trouble finding and deleting all that code stuff (I’m a construction worker) so I went back to the visual edit page and deleted everything.
I then went to my original article at Knol cleared all the formatting, copied and pasted to WordPress. Much better. http://electrician101.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/life-as-a-residential-electrician/
THANKS Macmanx (ok now) -
