Red face Wildcards and track changes

Hello! I'm sorry in advance if this is not the right place to post question. I'm having this issue:



I have a client that sends me documents to update, but sometimes they don't use track changes, they instead paint and underline the new text and expect me to not miss a thing.

I already have a way of finding that text with find and replace, but I would love to know if there is a way to change that text automatically using wildcards.

My idea would be:
1- Have track changes activated
2- Find any instance of a word, number or symbol that is formatted in a certain way (e.g., blue color and double underline)
3- Replace that text with the exact same text, but have it show with track changes

I have tried several ways with wildcards but I'm not that advanced yet and can't seem to hit the right string.

I would love any advice!!
