I use Word Perfect (simply the best!) to help me get around this in a
round about way. Rather than use paranthesis, I point the rest of the
word in a style that reduces further text to about 8 pt. Furthermore,

The key to all this, of course, is CONSISTENCY, which I will admit I
have seen great lapses of in some work...
