Expand "Find and Replace" to allow formated text.

[The Underwriter]

This is something Microsoft should consider adding. Terms in legal documents
often need to be bolded, underlined, or formated in some other way. It would
be EXTREMELY helpful if the find and replace feature allowed you to replace
text with formated text.

It does.

Assuming you're using office 2007

From the find and replace screen
Click the 'More' button
Click on 'Format'
Select 'Font'
Set the formatting as you want it.

If there are multiple formats in the replace string, enter the string in the
document, format it as you want then copy it to the clipboard. Use replace
with ^c to replace with the clipboard content.
