Neither can I... I think it's because NWP doesn't fully either support 
or use the full RegEx (Regular Expression Find & Replace method).

But maybe you can - if yhou have Adobe Illustrator - import the text 
page by page and then save each page as a GIF file and put these up on 
the site as 'pictures'. By this method you can also keep the italics. - 
Just a thought...
