Hi Britta,

You can do this with a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Fine = [0-9]{1,2}[-/][0-9]{1,2}[-/][0-9]{2,4}
Replace = ^&
and the replacement font is formatted as bold.

The above Find expression will find any 1-2 digit number, followed by a '/' or '-', followed by another 1-2 digit number, followed by a '/' or '-', followed by a 2-4 digit number.
