Certainly.
1. Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.
2. In the "Find what" box, type "Star Wars" (without the quotation marks).
3. In the "Replace with" box type "Star Wars" or ^& (the code that stands
for "Find What Text," i.e., what you were searching for).
4. With the insertion point still in the "Replace with" box, press Ctrl+I.
You'll see "Format: Font: Italic" under the box.
5. Replace All.

Dear all,
I am using Word 2007 to write a long document in English. Suppose there is
a
film title such as 'Star Wars' or a non-English phrase, which I have used
100
times and forgot to put in italics, I know I can use find 'Star Wars' and
then italicise each instance one at a time (which will take forever) but
is
there any command to say
find all instances of [Star Wars] and replace with [Star Wars in italics]?
thank you
