I want to change "et al" to italic for the whole docuemnt

For example, Peters et al change to Peters iet al /i

The "replace" function does not have any have format.

I use office2k.

Thanks

Find, Replace, then click on "more", at the bottom of the "find and
replace" dialog box there is a button titled "format".

hope that helps.

Search for et al
replace with ^& - press CTRL+I with the cursor in the replace box.

If you italicize "et al.," be sure to include the period in the italics. But
note that there's no good reason for italicizing "et al." any more than,
say, "etc."

It was my Ph.D. thesis. The usual practice is to put "et al" for quoting
other people's works. "etc" will not be acceptable by the uni.


Thanks Suzanne
