Find and replace formatting
'Herb Tyson [MVP Wrote:
;3001031']If the user insists upon using the full dialog rather than the
much simpler
shortcut keys, then they need to set Underline style: (in the Find Fond
dialog) to (none) to achieve the "No underline" setting for the Replace
with
textbox.

I also am using Word 2003. For what I describe, it is not necessary to
expand the dialog and use the Format button. Like Terry, I have to
wonder
if you took on board that you have to press Ctrl+U *twice* to get "No
underline."

In the "Find what" box, press Ctrl+U; you will see the words "Format:
Underline" under the box.
In the "Replace with" box, press Ctrl+U twice, then Ctrl+I; you will
see
"Format: Font: Italic, No underline."
Replace All.

Is there a way to run a find and replace command on a type of
formatting
rather than a word string? I need to change all underlines in a 100
page document to italics--and there are hundreds of them!
Thanks,

-I should have specified that I'm using Word 2003. I did figure out
how-
to expand the find and replace menu to include formatting, and set it
up to find underline and replace with italic. However, all it will
do
is *add* italics to the underlined passages. It does not remove the
underline.
