Default Is there a way to replace italics with underscores?

In a copy of the original document, open the Edit Replace dialog.

In the Find box, press Ctrl+I so the format below the empty box says
"Font: Italic".

In the Replace box, press Ctrl+I twice so the format below the empty
box says "Font: Not Italic". Then type this in the box:

_^&_

Click the Replace All button.

I'm preparing a manuscript for submission to a publisher, but one publisher
wants italicized words to be underlined and another requests that they be
italicized, no underlining at all.

Is there any way to replace the formatting code for italics with that for
underlines (perhaps similar to the "find and replace" feature) or am I going
to have to go through this monster and manually replace everything?

Thanks in advance.
