Formating all words within brackets

[relli.solares]

Hi,

I think, I need help with this problem of mine. I have a huge word-file with this kind of things:

Normal Text and then there is something like this {testword} or this {test-word} or even this {test2word} an so on.

What I want to do is, formating all words within these brackets (and the brackets too) as italics:

Normal Text and then there is something like this {testword} or this {test-word} or even this {test2word} an so on.

Thank you very much for your help!

Go to the Find/Replace dialogue.

Click the 'Use Wildcards' option (You may need to click the 'More>>' button to view)
Click the 'Format' button and change the formatting as needed.
Enter (\{)(*)(\}) in the 'Find What:' box
Enter \1\2\3 in the 'Replace With:' box.

Click 'Replace All'

A simpler wildcard Find/Replace expression would be:
Find = \{*\}
Replace = ^&
and set the Replace format to italic.
