Uh-oh, there you are using a different style manual again! Following
punctuation should only be italicized on the rare occasions when it's
part of the material being italicized, as opposed to being part of the
"matrix sentence" into which italicized material has been inserted.
(And Word recognizes this by not including following punctuation when
double-clicking to select a word.)

Note that if punctuation following italicized text has been (correctly)
italicized, it will also be underlined, so you may need to rerun replace to
find underlined periods, commas, etc. and remove the underline. If you find
you need to do this, type the punctuation mark into the "Find what" box and
press Ctrl+U (after clearing the Ctrl+I formatting). In the "Replace with"
box, type the same punctuation mark (or ^&) and press Ctrl+U a second time
to get Format: Font: No Underline.
