Thumbs up

OK, I found what I was looking for - with many thanks to Graham Mayor.

I have amended some code on his website and done the following:

Sub DateAbbrevItalicize()

With Selection
.HomeKey wdStory
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Do While .Execute(findText:="(c.", _
MatchWildcards:=False, _
Wrap:=wdFindStop, _
Forward:=True) = True
'Do what you want with the found text (Selection.Range)
'In this case format the second character as italicized
Selection.Range.Characters(2).Font.Italic = True
Loop 'and look for the next match
End With
End With

End Sub
