The problem with this approach is that when you choose Edit > Copy Special > Character Format, it copies ALL of the formatting of the selected text, not just those of the character format applied to it. When you replace by pasting, you will be pasting more than just the character format's properties.

Then, in the Find/Replace box, choose to find a character format. Set the dialog to As Is (Shift+F8), and choose Bold in the Weight box. OK out. Then, in the Replace box, choose to replace By Pasting. Replace all, and you should be done. HTH, -Niels
