....and you did press Ctrl+U twice for the Replace with: box, right? So that
it explicitly says "No underline"?

When I follow Suzanne's directions exactly, I get precisely the results
you're looking for.

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.
