I also am using Word 2003. For what I describe, it is not necessary to
expand the dialog and use the Format button. Like Terry, I have to wonder
if you took on board that you have to press Ctrl+U *twice* to get "No
underline."

Is there a way to run a find and replace command on a type of
formatting
rather than a word string? I need to change all underlines in a 100
page document to italics--and there are hundreds of them!

Thanks,
s.

-I should have specified that I'm using Word 2003. I did figure out how

to expand the find and replace menu to include formatting, and set it
up to find underline and replace with italic. However, all it will do
is *add* italics to the underlined passages. It does not remove the
underline.
