 +<note tip>
 +Locating all the text and phrases that require emphasis can be tedious and time consuming. We came up with this possible solution for speeding up the process: have two word versions of the original (one to reformat and one to search for italics/emphasis.)
 +
 +The current workflow as follows:
 +
 +  * Download the word doc from cyberduck
 +  * Open>Select All>Copy
 +  * Open new document and paste (use keep text only option so it is clear of all formatting)
 +  * Save new document as working file (i.e. Title_Of_Book_YourLastName)
 +  * Keep original with all formatting
 +  * Keep both open at same time
 +  * Use advanced search in original to locate italics/emphasis (you can search for both Italics and Emphasis this way. I can write up detailed steps once you give me the go ahead)
 +  * Use search to find word/phrase in working copy to apply emphasis style
 +
 +This should help speed up the process of locating the emphasis in the original.
