Find and replace formatting shikaku <shikaku.32dc785[ at ]officefrustration.com> 10/4/2008 9:10:26 PM 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, s. -- shikaku

Re: Find and replace formatting "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 10/5/2008 8:53:11 PM I also am using Word 2003.

Re: Find and replace formatting "Herb Tyson [MVP]" <herb[ at ]1x2y3z.xnw> 10/5/2008 9:43:48 PM 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. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.
