Thanks Wosven! I tried your workaround and it worked for me. To remind myself how it works (and for those who aren't find & replace experts) I posted a screen capture to YouTube showing how I follow your steps. The search and replace with regular expressions is a little tricky if you've never done that kind of thing before.
Preserving bold and italic text when importing to Affinity Publisher.

What is the best way to import text that has italics, bolds, or underlines.
If I do a copy & paste from word or wherever, the italics, etc are rpeserved, but so is the source's font and line spacing. If I apply the correct style to my imported text, then it clobbers and removes all italics, etc and I have to go through the source doc and affinity dock, manually highlighting and italicizing (or bolding) the text to get it to match, which requires a lit of time. Is there a better way to get that text into affinity publisher?

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, you're right about ".*". Either that or ".+" will probably work in a practical sense to find the text. I didn't even look to see if Affinity has info on regular expressions in their help docs. I don't use them enough to keep it all memorized, so I just tried a couple of things from memory until it worked.
