I repeat, AutoFormat (as opposed to AutoFormat As You Type) will do this.
You have to explicitly run AutoFormat. You can do this with Format |
AutoFormat | AutoFormat Now, or you can add an AutoFormat button to the
Formatting toolbar if you need to use it frequently.

AutoFormat will do it if you have the appropriate option enabled.

Yes, but the underscores are already in there, intentionally. I want to
replace ones that were written, say, last week, not ones I am typing
today.

Hope that clarifies.

Thanks;
