Hm ... I thought I posted a WP6.0 dos version some weeks ago ... yes, here it 
is again:
DISPLAY(Off!)
// search for the Underline Off code -- this sets the 'previous position'.
SearchString("[Und Off]"+"")   // [Und On] is a code ... needs to be recorded
SearchNext()
// search backwards for the Underline On code and delete both codes
SearchString("[Und On]"+"")    // [Und Off] is a code ... needs to be 
ecorded
SearchPrevious()
DeleteCharPrevious
// put the original underlined code in italics ...
BlockOn(CharMode!)
PosGoPrevious
AttributeAppearanceToggle(Italics!)
BlockOff
// that's it.
Caveat: if Block mode is on when you start this macro you'll lose text. This 
can be fixed by:
    IF( ?BlockMode ) // I'm not sure about that variable's name ...
        BlockOff
    ENDIF
before the searching.

WPwin60 macros usually work in WPwin61. The minor incompatibilities usually 
are obvious -- they'll cause problems ;-)
Actually there are similar differences between interim releases of the same 
WP-product too ... :-(
