Italicizing Words Between Parenthesis (?)

[croy]

I have a text document with a lot of scientific names in
parenthesis.

I have opened the file in MS Word 2000, and saved it as a
Word file. I would like to italicize all the scientific
names and the parenthesis that isolate them, but am stumped
as to how to go about this.

Anyone?

Are you sure you want to italicize the parentheses as well?

Yes.

In that case:

1. In the Replace dialog, click More and check the box for "Use wildcards."

2. In the "Find what" box, type

\(*\)

3. In the (empty) "Replace with" box, press Ctrl+I. (You'll see Format:
Font: Italic beneath the box.)

4. Replace All.
