There is a macro with all releases since 6. It's called attrib and it will 
change attributes (bold to small caps etc, etc). The alternative is to write 
a quick and dirty macro to look for underline on, block to underline off, 
change to italics and then iterate... ;-) Then you can search and replace 
underline by nothing and Bob's your uncle!
