Search and Replace - Bold

[TimK]

Is there a way to find a word or set of words that are
bolded and add the HTML <B> </B> tags around it? I don't
care if the Search and Replace gets rid of the bold
formatting in word, I just want the HTML bold tags to
placed around the word or set of words.

Thanks,
Tim

Try this:

1. Leave the "Find what" box empty but press Ctrl+B to get "Format: Bold."

2. In the "Replace with" box, type <B>^&</B>

3. Replace All.

If you want to remove the bold formatting as you replace, press Ctrl+B twice
in the "Replace with" box to get "Format: Not Bold."

Tim,

In addition to Suzanne's suggestion, if this is something you're going
to be doing regularly, you may want a macro for it so that you don't
have to set it up manually each time: If you don't know how to install
a macro and assign it to a keystroke or menu button, write back to the
group.
