Default Styling contents in brackets

Hi all,


This is my first time asking a question here, so please forgive me if I do it wrong. Anyway, I used to be able to higlight all the contents within the brackets [sample] and apply a style to them, let's say italic, and only the content within the brackets s are affected, the brackets themselves remain normal. I tried (\[)(*)(\]) and it highlights the content and the brackets.

Kind regards,
Attahk

After you have done the wildcard replace with (\[)(*)(\]), you can search again and replace \[ with Default Paragraph Font. Repeat with \].

If picking the (special) style called Default Paragraph Font does not help (it should!), you can always specify Not Bold by repeatedly pressing Ctrl+B with the insertion point in the "Replace with" dialog box.
