Normal Find will do.

Or write a macro. Oh no! ;-)

The degree sign, Alan D? Are you sure that will 
appear correctly if the text is viewed on Another 
Platform? I would have thought it safer to use a 
more common feature like an asterisk at he 
beginning and the end of he italics -- that will 
always appear, regardess of platform, browser, 
etc. -- and it will also add an air of emphasis 
that a degree sigh wouldn't.

Alternatively, how about (i) or [i] or (itals) qnd (/itals)?
