Hi Helge
thanks a lot - I thought this would be the only option at the moment.
Therefore I have a question for a extension of the search / replace to
include options to including formating, i.e. emphasized, noun,
underlined. It would be of great help in e.g. biological articles where
species names have to be in italics / emphasized.
