Replace markers with a style

There's a useful blog post here on how to convert text formatted in a certain way in MS Word with something else. What it doesn't do, though, is show you how to do the reverse. The process is broadly similar but you just need to set up your find and replace box like this

This will find anything between a "¬" and a "|" (pipe mark, next to the z on a UK keyboard) and replace it in blue.

A couple of things to note.

- Firstly the reason I've used "¬" & "|" is that other marks such as "@", "~", "#", "<" and ">" may not work for you (for various reasons), but it doesn't have to be those two, feel free to find what works for you. You may need to use Find and Replace beforehand to get these two in position

- Secondly, it won't replace the "¬" & "|" you'll have to go and do that afterwards.

The joys of a Microsoft product.
