To change all occurrences of one character format to another character format in Microsoft Word versions 3.x and 4.00, do the following:


 * 1) Save the file in RTF format.
 * 2) Use the Change command (on the Utilities menu in 4.00 and on the Search menu in 3.x) to replace the character format codes.
 * 3) Resave the file in Text Only format.

Bold underline  Double underline  Outline Word underline  Shadow Dotted underline  Strikethrough  Small caps Superscript  All caps Subscript  Hidden where x is the number of half-points subscripted or superscripted
