Reversing italics
I converted several pages of text from Word Perfect to Word 2000. In
the WP original roughly every 200th word was italicized. In Word it's all reversed: the originally italicized words are in normal text and everything else is in italics. Is there a painless way in Word to reverse this back to the way it was? |

Reversing italics
As we know little about your document, I suspect you will need a macro. The
following should work: Sub ReplaceExample() With Selection With .Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Text = "" .Font.Italic = False .Replacement.Text = "" .Replacement.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineDotDash .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = False .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Selection.HomeKey wdStory .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Font.Italic = True .Replacement.Font.Italic = False .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Selection.HomeKey wdStory .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Font.Underline = wdUnderlineDotDash .Replacement.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineNone .Replacement.Font.Italic = True .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul MR wrote: I converted several pages of text from Word Perfect to Word 2000.

Reversing italics
Paul MR was telling us:
Paul MR nous racontait que : I converted several pages of text from Word Perfect to Word 2000. In the WP original roughly every 200th word was italicized. In Word it's all reversed: the originally italicized words are in normal text and everything else is in italics. Is there a painless way in Word to reverse this back to the way it was? You could use Find/Replace. 1) On the tool bar, set a Highlight colour, such as yellow. 2) Do (CTRL-h) to open the "Find and Replace" dialogue. Find all non-italic words (With the cursor in the "Find what:" field, do (CTRL-i) until it says "Font: Not Italic" beneath the field) and replace by Highlight (Find/Replace uses the current High light colour) - you may need to click on "More" in order to get to the "Format" button to set Highlight as a replace parameter 3) Do (CTRL-a) in the document to select all the content 4) Remove all italics (CTRL-i) and unselect the document content by clicking anywhere once. 5) Reset the highlight colour to "None" on the toolbar. 6) Find all words formatted with Highlight and replace with Highlight (Which is now "None," so it will effectively remove the highlighting) and italic. -- ______________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil Montreal, Canada |
