Arrrgh --
Doing a find-replace to change italicized or underlined commas
to plain commas within legal cites will not work because legal cites
contain internal commas, which should remain italicized or underlined;
only the comma at the end of the legal cite must be in plain text.

|Quoting Graham Mayor:
|
| If all you are trying to do is convert underlined commas to non-underlined
| commas, the simplest plan is to use the replace function
|
| In the find box, enter a comma
| In the replace box enter a comma and press CTRL+U twice (no underline)
|

|Replace using Wildcards to help you select the author/treatises but I

|that possibility?
|
|I personally think you ought to dictate some formatting requirements to
|those who wish to submit an article, most journal editors do not seem to be
|so kind as to take it all upon themselves.
