You can use the dialog box Replace Format to change the formatting of the text to be replaced and to specify how it should reflow and align after replacement.

You reach the dialog box Replace Format as follows:

1.First, choose the ribbon command Home | group Search | Replace icon_search_and_replace.
Alternatively: In the search mask of the ribbon command Home | group Search | Find icon_search, click on the Replace >> button, which will expand the search mask.
2.In both cases, you will now be in the dialog box Replace. Here, you can click on the hyperlink reflow paragraph:
dialog - find  replace - pro - only formatting
3.The dialog box Replace Format then appears.
dialog - find  replace - replace format
Here, proceed as follows:
4.Set a check mark in the Apply Style checkbox to apply the formatting to your text.
Then set the required attributes: You can set the Font, Size and Colour as in the dialog box Find Format. (For more information, see the previous section.) If you do not select an attribute or if you leave it Unchanged, this means that the respective attributes will not be changed in the text to be replaced.
5.In the After Replacement section, set how you want the reflow of the text to look after replacement. This is important even if you do not change the text since changing font or font size will require a reflow. This part of the dialog box is identical to the options described in Reflow and alignment.
