how do i tweak the search function in word2013 such that it searches for all BOLD text, change its color, then unbold it?

i.e. from

test



to

test

By clicking the 'More' button, then setting the desired formats for both the Find and Replace text.

Hi,

but i can't leave the text field blank (i also tried ticking wildcard search, but it doesn't allow me to search anything unless it's filled).

to reiterate, i want to search for ALL text that is bold, then unbold+change font color to the bolded text.

Ah, but you can. And, with a wildcard search, you could use an asterisk (*) for the Find expression and ^& as the Replace expression.
