    copied!<p>In org-mode you can use <code>*word*</code> to get <code>word</code> in bold face, <code>/word/</code> to get <code>word</code> in italics and <code>_word_</code> to get word underlined.</p> <p>You can re-define the characters for emphasizing via <code>Options-&gt;Customize Emacs-&gt;Specific Option</code> then input <code>org-emphasis-alist</code>.</p> <p>That is permanent in the sense that if you save and kill the buffer and reload the file into emacs you have the same high-lighting again.</p> <p>Another way is to use enriched-mode. Input <code>M-x enriched-mode</code>. If <code>font-lock-mode</code> is <strong>not</strong> activated you can use stuff like <code>Edit-&gt;Text Properties-&gt;Face-&gt;Bold</code> and the formatting is permanent in the text-file. It is clear that this leaves traces in the text file. You can see these traces if you load the file via <code>M-x find-file-literally</code>.</p> <p>Note, that for easier formatting in the X11-port (I think also in the win32-port) you can detach the menus by clicking on the broken line on top (see the right side of the following image for two of such detached menus).</p> <p><code>font-lock-mode</code> re-fontifies text with rules from parameters like <code>font-lock-keywords</code> automatically and removes all other fontification (these parameters are most often set by the major-mode). Therefore, text properties do not work if <code>font-lock-mode</code> is activated. <code>org-mode</code> uses <code>font-lock-mode</code>, and text properties from <code>Edit-&gt;Text Properties-&gt;Face-&gt;Bold</code> cannot be used with <code>org-mode</code> (the corresponding menu items are deactivated). You can check whether <code>font-lock-mode</code> is active with <kbd>C-h m</kbd>. It is active if <code>Font-Lock</code> is listed. Alternatively, you can query <kbd>C-h v</kbd> <code>font-lock-mode</code> which is <code>t</code> if <code>font-lock-mode</code> is active. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TRz1m.png" alt="Fontified text in enriched-mode"></p>
