Umm...You have:

Code:

.Text = "(*)"

as your search choice. This is telling the search and replace to change the brackets AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! If you ONLY want it to effect the brackets, then you need to enter the brackets ONLY. You will need to repeat the code to search 1st for

Code:

.Text = "("

, followed by copying the code again (Everything from 'Selection.Find.ClearFormatting' to 'Wend'), and changing it to

Code:

.Text = ")"

Also you have it changing to Italic, not colour?

Code:

Selection.Font.Italic = wdToggle

you will need to change it to a colour code instead

Code:

Selection.Font.Color = wdColorRed
