Find/Replace and format existing letters inside brackets
Using the Find and replace in a large Word v2016 document, is it possible to change the formatting of everything in brackets ?, for example:
Note-Everything inside the brackets is bold font, (C) Stran-(Am)ger (C) (Am), (C) stran-(Am)ger (C) (Am) Yeah you can (G) see, the (F) look in her (G) eye To look like this: [C] Stran-[Am]ger [C] [Am], [C] stran-[Am]ger [C] [Am] Yeah you can [G] see, the [F] look in her [G] eye without having to find and replace every letter individually inside the brackets is there a formula or wildcard way of doing it quickly and easily I have hundred’s of these documents to edit and using wildcards, bold formatting I can find the characters using an “*” in the find box, but as yet haven’t found a way of easily replacing the text to be same but formatted differently, other than directly replacing the exact letter in the replace box for 1 character at a time? Thanks in advance |

Use the following wild card Find/Replace:
Find=([(])([A-Za-z]@)([)]) Replace With=[\2] |
