Angry Find What Text (^&) is not working for find Italic formatted strings


Hi all
I am exasperated!!
I have a document with a lot of text formatted as Italic that I wish to replace with the same text within quotation marks.
I googled (as most do) to find an answer - one site described the use of ^& in the replace box: with an answer that said it worked.
However, I cannot get it to work!!
Can anyone assist please?
To be clear, using Ctrl+H I have set the 'Find what' to search for format Italic and added '^&' in to the 'Replace with' box and set format to 'Not Italic'.
The result I am getting is;
Text is becoming Text''.
Any help would be greatly received: Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?
Thanks
Mercurial
