Reply To: Grep to find all-italic paragraphs

You can do this:

Find What: (^.+?)(\x{00E9})(.+?$)
Change To: $1e$3
Find Format: Italic

Then make sure the ‘scope’ of the selection is to the entire story, and start hitting ‘Change All’ again and again and again, until the popup dialog box says ‘Search is completed. 0 replacement(s) made.’. As long as the number on the dialog box is 1 or more, it means that it is still found an è, but once it says 0 it means that all è have been replaced with a regular e.
