Is there any way in MS word that we can match all italicized text and bring brackets {..} before and after them?
For example, I have mag pal two: in another page I have woke me up: and many other italicized sentences
What I want is to find them and replace them with a bracket around them

This can be done using "Find and replace" option in Microsoft Word. Here, I have a word document with many italic text. I have highlighted them in yellow for our convenience:
Press
Ctrl+H
to go to "Find and Replace" menu. Click onMore
:Click on
Format
and thenFont...
:Select
Font style
asItalic
and clickOK
:Leave the
Find what:
blank.In
Replace with:
enter{^&}
If you've done everything right, "Find and Replace" will look like this at last:
Click
Replace All
button.This is what you will get at the end:
EDIT: You've got a group of words (or we can call it a sentence) in italics just like this:
(I've highlighted in yellow for convenience)
For your information, I have applied the very same method and it works fine in this case as well. This is what I achieved doing the same thing I mentioned above:
So, I believe, this finally solves your problem.
I hope this helps. Tell me how it does :)
