I’ve got an old, OLD document that I want to update.
The problem is that it’s using that old formatting thing where it has this kind of formatting: italics or bold
If there’s an easy way to turn italics into italics. I can’t figure it out. The best solution I can find gets me something like italics (there’s only a few cases of bold so I don’t care too much about that). I know I can then delete the _ manually but I’d prefer to avoid that since there’s a ton of legit underscores.
in the Format menu, choose Font and select Italic.
The * represents any number of characters in a wildcard search. Putting it in parentheses is kind of like identifying it as a “variable” to Word. The \1 syntax in the Replace box means to replace the string with the first “variable” from the Find text.
