Replace bold text with <b>…</b> in MS Word without macros

Question

I have a text with bold & italic font and I need to convert it to html. First, I need to convert bold text to .... I found some solutions, but all of them uses VBA code. Is it possible to fix it with search&replace (it is possible to search for bold text in Word 2007 for example).

Answer 1

Tested in Word 2010:

In the search and replace dialog:

• Leave the Find what: field blank
• In the Replace with: put <b>^&</b>
• In the Format -> Font section, select Bold
• Replace All

This will put the tags around your bold text. They and the original text will still be bold but that shouldn't be an issue for most purposes.
