Okay I was successful with the following.
Make sure wildcard box is ticked.
In the find box: '(*)' -- single quote, open parenthesis, asterisk, close
parenthesis, single quote
In the replace box: \1 -- then press ctrl-i to add italics style
And away you go.

George,
Can I use wildcards to do the following replacement;
Replace words in single quotes e.g. 'this' with the same word without the
quotes but in italics. I made a few atempts at it, trying to follow the
Help text but I didn't make it. Maybe I didn't try hard enough!!
It would really be very useful in a book I am working on if I could find
a
way of doing it (or more correctly if you could prompt me how to do it
since I've not succeeded so far). I hope you can.
Thanks in advance
Jean
