Re: Need some assistance with Word, maybe Find and Replace?

How many files do you have?  A trial of the current WP can be 
downloaded from the Corel website.

If it's just a few, Word's find and replace will allow you to specify
paragraph formatting as search and replace criteria.  Put the
cursor in the "Find" field and click "More" to specify what format
you want to find, then move the cursor to the "Replace with" field
and specify the formatting you want it to become.
