= SUMMARY =

The Format Replace Character command requires you to specifically turn off the attributes that you intend to replace.

Therefore, to replace all occurrences of bold italic formatting within the selected text with underlined italics, do the following:


 * 1) Highlight the text to be changed.
 * 2) Select the Format Replace Character command.
 * 3) Choose Yes in the “bold:” field and Yes in the “italic:” field.
 * 4) Press ENTER.
 * 5) In the Replace with Character Format menu, choose No in the “bold:” field and Yes in the “underlined:” field.
 * 6) Press ENTER.

By following these steps, you have instructed Word to first locate all occurrences of text formatted for both bold and italics, and then to turn off the bold formatting while turning on the underline.
