Re: changing codes in WP

["cmadsen" cmadsen@xxxxxxxx]

I know Werd has the ability to automatically change a word surrounded by
asterisks (*Wednesday*) into bold and a word surrounded by underscores
(_Wednesday_) into italics. If WP 6.1 can do the same thing, then you could
make this simple change in the Xy file before running the conversion.

Just a thought -- I know next to nothing about WP.
